Interview with Far East Movement
Hoc Administrator Level Pins 04/22/2008 03:30AM Total Posts: 972 From the Alvin Lin blog, by Alvin Lin on 2008-04-21 05:56 PM (original link) Last week I had a phone and email interview with the members of the Far East Movement (FM), whose songs have gotten radio play on the West Coast, and in movies like ‘Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift’, and ‘Finishing the Game’. They have a great sound and are starting to get some mainstream attention from TV channels like MTV. Below is Part I of our interview. Here is link to their Myspace where you can check out some of their songs. Here is a link to their own website. If you want to purchase their first album ‘Folk Music’, you can find it here. I work here.
