Asian Man Records!
Back when I wore combat boots to go with my mohawk, I was way into hardcore and ska music (and of course, the hybrid ska-core). One of my favorite bands was Skankin' Pickle. When I heard "Onyonghasayo", a Korean ska song, I nearly lost my mind. Mike Park was a key member of the band and went on to play with The Chinkees, The Bruce Lee Band and is now performs solo gigs. His Asian Man Records is a grass roots DIY label that Mike proudly runs out of his garage. After years of telling myself, "I've got to get in touch with this guy" I finally reached out and so glad I did. Mike is a real nice guy and I'm proud to say Secret Asian Man: The Daily Days is now available at Asian Man Records! Please show your support for this talented guy and pick up a copy today! And while you're at it pick up some tunes from some great independent bands!
