One Hundred Years Ago They Were Called Samurai

The wait is over!

Two months ago we told you about The Yakuza, the smolderingly hot new group in the Solyoni music family. Those of you who have been unable to sleep for the past two months wondering if The Yakuza's debut album would ever be released can close your eyes and don your night caps at last. That's right. The powerful and important new ep One Hundred Years Ago They Were Called Samurai is available now. 

The Yakuza, featuring solyoni's Dan Lurie, Black Rider recording artist Robert Lurie, Jon Kilian, and Aaron Semer of The Plains, signed the final papers with Velvet Fallopian Tube Productions last week and now have full clearance to distribute their debut CD. Order yours today by sending an email to solyoni@hotmail.com. Include your mailing address, and we will ship you a limited edition copy of the CD critics across the map are calling "a savory mix of acoustic sensibility, senseless electricity, and sweet basil."
