Akudama managed to make it out to perform four shows during their week without an official mode of transportation. The gigs were fun, and thankfully the band van-mobile is back in business (after a rebuilt transmission)!
The first leg of the summer tour has been officially booked, and you can expect to see full details about dates out towards Indiana and back right here on this site and the Myspace page shortly.
The band is also knee deep in shoots for music videos that will compliment their E.P. release on May 22nd. (More information about that special show soon as well)
On the Tiny Whales font, the guys have booked some really exciting shows in the Boston/Portsmouth, NH area. If you have not had a chance to enjoy their live set yet, there has never been a better time to get out there and ROCK!

What a roller coaster week for Akudama!
Tuesday morning the band purchased what is to be their deluxe van for the 2008 Summer tour. About two hours and 150 miles into their trip to Boston to play at The Middle East, smoke starts pouring out from the underside of the van.
They immediately pull over and arrange to be towed to the nearest service station which thankfully had a few U-Hauls available for rent. All of the equipment was then transferred to the rented 14 foot truck. Miraculously, the band made it on time to what turned out to be an excellent show with White Hinterland and Throw Me The Statue.
(Many thanks to the crowd of friendly faces and also to the new fans who were able to show their support at the Middle East on a Tuesday night!)
As the van was immobile the middle of Connecticut, the band then had to return the U-Haul, and arrange for their newly purchased vehicle to be towed back towards NYC where it could be worked on at length by a trusted mechanic.
Now, again without a proper touring vehicle (for the time being), Akudama have four additional shows in the next seven days.... Exciting times these are!
On the Tiny Whales front: The guys are regrouping after their last tour outing, and are planning new material to record for a full length release to be announced soon.
