Beasts/Touyou Kanon Podcast EPISODE 4 (Hosted By Tom Melesky)

Beasts From the East/Touyou Kanon Podcast

This is a special edition of Beasts, hosted by Mr. Tom Melesky. If you've been with Beasts for a while, he's a familiar name. He's a promoter for acts in Japan (MOLICE, SAWA/SAWAS PHOOL, K-Syndrome), a patron of terrestrial and online radio (this show, SRQVAMPS in Sarasota, Florida, the sorely missed NIPPON MUSIC CHAMP out of WRAS 88.5fm Atlanta hosted by b-chan), a stuntman and schoolteacher, as well as the occasional backup dancer and stuntman. Tom is a co-organizer of the IRO IRO concert series based in Tokyo (featuring local and international acts sharing the stage) and is the owner of the Underground Terrarium---a virtual forum for up and coming artists. Prepare to hear the alluring sounds bubbling under the surface of Japan in this episode! He's a storyteller and a self-deprecating humorist, and with his charm, you'll hear about a number of Nippon performers, as well as IRO IRO and his performer friends and peers. Tom's been a massive contributor to the musical expansion that Touyou Kanon has had through the years, and we're grateful to him. He's a true blue Master of Ceremonies (as is evident with the IRO IRO ghows), so he handles hosting this episode with ease. Enjoy!
