Music Video Monday… The Big Pink – Dominoes
by MoonCake
I really like this song, but that’s not strictly the reason why I’ve chosen this video for today. There are only two members of The Big Pink; Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell. However, it’s not them I’m interested in. My attention centres around the drummer they employ who goes by the name of Akiko “exceedingly good Keex” Matsuura, a little Japanese punk rock girl. I wanted to introduce you to her, if you didn’t know about her before, because she is just COOL!
Obviously she’s toured as drummer for The Big Pink recently, but she’s got lots of other feathers in her hat. She fronts two other bands you may have heard of: Pre and Comanechi, where she generally just jumps around, screams and rocks out in her underwear.
She also has a blog that she updates regularly. According to her blog, when Comanechi toured with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O dedicated ‘Maps’ to them. Keex cried. She’s opened for the Gossip, the Klaxons and Muse. Oh, and she’s one of the girls in THAT ‘Hustler’ video (look out for the greenish dress). If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m sure you’ll find out in next week’s Music Video Monday. I’m going to be keeping my eye on Keex.
hahahahaha replaced Jo Scotcher in the band….
she sure does rock out in her underwear. where do they sell those lycra things with belts? loord.
@rach what is that true or just some crazy “dez” joke?
They sell those things at American Apparel. Thinking of ivnesting in some Petit Fours? We could do a butch/femme underwear feature!
no dude fact ! She is good friends with Robbie (who used to be banging Lily McHotty Allen for a while ps) and has vocals on some of their tracks hahahahahahaha. But they spelled her name wrong on the album sleeve. So she is dezzzzzz.

in other news, rach, would you like to write a quick post explaining to the wider world the meaning of the lesbian term “dez”? in my brief encounters with it, only lezzas use it. But WTF does it mean? etc.

Ahh Dez. Well, recently a good friend of mine wrote the Dezalphabet, which I am happy to share:
Firstly, you must understand that there are 3 states of Dez.
1) Predez (when you are young and innocent and never been desperate for anyone before.. good time).
2) Dez (When you are are soooo into someone you start acting in a freak like nature.. midnight drunks calls leaving hundreds of tragic messages, stalking, building shrines in their honour.. Think Alice for Dana in L3)
3) Post/Anti Dez.. you are finally over it and never ever want to be such a loon ever again. Your heart is sealed..Until Dez comes back around….
