This year was all about new things for the so-called Kraut-rock revivalists Fujiya & Miyagi. Formerly a trio, the band assumed a new drummer in 2008, dropped a new album, Lightbulbs, to widespread acclaim, and also recently premiered a new video.

The quartet will take a few weeks of R&R before getting back on the road in early 2009, showcasing material off Lightbulbs, and perhaps even some new tracks as well.
