• 「MODS MAYDAY JAPAN 2024」5月18日に開催！

  

  2024/04/30

  1950年代後半～60年代のロンドン界隈で発生したカウンターカルチャー、モッズ・シーン。細身なイタリアンスタイルのスーツや、R&B、ソウル・ミュージックやスカなどのヒップな音楽で踊り、ランブレッタやベスパといったスクーターを愛するクールなムーブメントとして流行。シーンにおけるザ・フー、スモール・フェイセスなどの攻撃的なロック・グループの登場は、後にザ・フーによって描かれた映画『さらば青春の光』と共に、70年代のパンクムーブメント以降のブリティッシュ・ロック・シーンにも多大な影響を与え、ポール・ウェラーをはじめとした多くのアーティストに受け継がれています。
  
  そんなクールなユース・カルチャーは70年代後半からここ日本においても『さらば青春の光』の公開やザ・ジャムの初来日を機に少しずつ動き出し、1981年には東京でモッズ・シーンに向けた大きなイベント「MODS MAYDAY」が開催されました。以後定期的に行われているこのパーティーでは、東京スカ・パラダイス・オーケストラ、I-SPY、ザ・コレクターズ、THE SCOOTERS、ザ・ヘアなどの多くのバンド、オーガナイザーであるManabu K.Doveをはじめとする多くのDJ達による名演を残しながらほぼ毎年開催され、今年も来る5月18日には「MODS MAYDAY JAPAN 2024」が開催されます。日本最初の本格的なスカバンドとしてイギリスやジャマイカのアーティストからも高い評価を得ているThe SKA FLAMESをはじめとするシーン最前線で活躍するさまざまなバンドのライブ、大貫憲章を筆頭に長年フロアを沸かしながらシーンを牽引し続けているDJ陣による他でなかなか聴けない最強にヒップなキラーナンバーが続くプレイといった、豪華な内容に圧倒される夜となる今年のMODS MAYDAY。普段からモッズ・シーンのイベントに通う人々のみならず、全UKカルチャー好き必見のイベントといえるでしょう。
