For those that still remember the Mongolian band linked to below (The Hu), you may care that they are touring the U.S. later this year. https://www.thehuofficial.com/tour The first run of U.S. dates is a co-headlining tour with Apocalyptica (a Finnish symphonic metal band), and the second run is as support/opener for a Rob Zombie/Marilyn Manson tour.

The band was only some facial latex away from being a Klingon band. This reminds me of something I learned in a Latin American music class. When radio became widespread in Central and South America after WWII the new stations needed recorded music to broadcast and they used a lot of American music. So jazz, big band, crooners, etc became popular in Latin America and influenced songwriting there. Then some of that music, like Brazilian boss nova, found its way to the US and in turn influenced American songwriters. The Mongolian band did a great job of mixing traditional Mongolian and rock music.

No, I hadn't heard of the show either, but it's from Central Television in Mongolia. What grabbed my attention is that the set visuals, show title graphics, and even how the host introduces the band borrow heavily from East Coast Jimmy's version of The Tonight Show. I don't think we have something along the lines of Craig Ferguson and Arthur or David Letterman and Harald Schmidt, but it's in the ballpark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQk99tIy3n4 Based on this promo video (with a blink and you'll miss it shot of Radio City Music Hall) that has an NBCUniversal logo at the end, this was probably licensed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWG1EAUOFUo FWIW, one of Fallon's many forgettable game shows, "That's My Jam" was sold to Central Television a couple of years ago, and Fallon even did a promo video for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEzQ37mTShM Best, David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
