The Molice -- Headphone

 

I haven't written about the Buffalo, New York State-based rock band The Molice since 2021 when we were all swamped with COVID and its consequences. At the time, the band led by vocalist/guitarist Rinko was back in Japan, not being able to return to The Queen City. I'm not sure about now though; hopefully, they have long resumed their activities. The first song I covered by them was "Hello, Hello".

Recently, I encountered their 2008 song "Headphone" which chugs away with their hard rock style and Rinko's rapid-fire patter. The video is interesting as The Molice performs in cramped quarters as if they were trying to impress Marie Kondo or spark joy and the ancient inspiration for NHK's "Tiny Desk Concerts".  There's also something about Rinko's slinkiness in this one which reminds me of Gail from "Letterkenny".
