While in IPC we are part of a band we call "Algorythm" which was formed in April, 2002.
Itsuka Parkes (vocalist, lead electric guitarist, acoustic guitar)
Hideya Kato (vocalist, rythmn guitar, bass guitar)
Daniel Parkes (keyboard and programming)
During the first six months we also had the pleasure of working with a professional drummer and IPC staff member, Tak Suzuki (the one above with the drum sticks through his head!). However, due to difficulties with the IPC music club we were unable to work with him after September, 2002, drums replaced by programmed percussion by Daniel on keyboards.
The following photographs were taken by Yoriko Ishibashi with her digital camera when we were performing at the IPC end-of-semester "BAND NIGHT". Our repertoire consisted of:
We Will Rock You / Johnny B.Goode / Superman / Tears in Heaven / Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt / Smoke on the Water
Itsuka and Hideya also performed twice at the Palmerston North Public Library, performing Japanese songs (Masayoshi Yamasaki) as seen below (with Yoriko this time presented the duo with congratulatory flowers).
Itsuka and Hideya also performed Japanese songs at the IPC Cherry Blossom Festival.
We are presenting organising the recording of a CD... we will keep you posted on any developments!
