The Bawdies joins host Raina Douris

Japanese 4-piece The Bawdies draw on the sound of ‘50s and ‘60s American and UK rock. On the next World Cafe, they talk about why they were so drawn to that sound when they started writing music two decades ago. Plus, a live performance from Tokyo’s Top Beat Club that includes music from their latest album,「POPCORN」.
