Tokyo Rockabillies

I've blogged about these guys before... but now I've found a great videoclip! The Tokyo Rockabilly Club dances every Sunday in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park. Sadly, they seem to be a dying breed.  Hope they will still be around when I can afford to visit Tokyo one day.

There are some inspirational photos by Janette Beckman in this great book!  A cool visual companion to Robert Elm's "The Way We Wore" if you are as obsessed with the style and fashion of Youth-Music Subcultures as we are.
