Concert Tickets: Fujiya & Miyagi at the Echo on March 20, 2011

Ever since I got my hands on Fujiya & Miyagi’s 2006 release, Transparent Things, I was instantly addicted to their smooth head-bobbing song “Collar Bone.” It has these dope yet subtle basslines that you just can’t help but move to. The song even caught the ear of pro skater, Chis Haslam as he skated to […]
