You want to see what Korea can do? I saw and met this South Korean punk/noise rock duo 57 (pronounced ‘oh chill’). They are a man-on-guitar/woman-on-drums duo in the mold of the White Stripes but the similarities end there. They are ferocious, wicked, AWESOME. They stunned the entire Basement club audience and then got rapturous applause – big time.

Pundits may refer them as ‘K-pop-, ‘K-rock’, ‘K-punk’, whatever. The ‘K’ is for ‘Korean’ but for this band the ‘K’ stands for ‘KICK-ASS’! You GOT to check them out, they are stunning!
