Sansei Rocker Band Set to Fire Up Aratani Theatre with Retro Hits

Published March 8, 2024

With the stage set for a dynamic performance, the Sansei Rocker Band is all geared up to deliver an electrifying rock 'n' roll experience at the Aratani Theatre. Having left audiences craving more after a string of successful sell-outs at the JANM's Tateuchi Democracy Forum, they're now aiming to take things to the next level with a much-anticipated concert on Saturday, May 11.

A Trip Back in Time

"Sansei Rocker: Get Ready, Cuz Here We Come!" promises to extend the legacy of the lively Sansei dance scene that thrived in Greater Los Angeles from the late 1960s to the 1970s. Inspired by Harry Manaka's "Chronicles of a Sansei Rocker," attendees will be treated to a nostalgic soiree, echoing the influential sounds and moments that once defined an era.

Reunited and It Sounds So Good

In an exciting reunion, three members of the acclaimed Somethin’ Else band – Royce Jones, Bobby Flores, and Harry Manaka – are joining forces once again. Their combined talent is a cornerstone for recreating what has been dubbed the 'soundtrack of our lives,' enticing the audience to relive the heady days of Sansei rock.

An Interactive Musical Experience

The concert is more than just a musical performance; it's an interactive event filled with heartwarming music from the dance party era, enriched with brief video presentations, engaging narratives, and spontaneous interactions that bridge the gap between the band and the audience.

As tickets are set to go on sale for the general public from Friday, March 8, at 10 a.m., fans are encouraged to mark their calendars and secure their seats for this unforgettable show. Whether you're a long-time aficionado or new to the scene, this is a musical journey you won't want to miss.
