MATCHA will kick off this Thursday with multi-sensorial offerings of Asian Healing arts.
Detoxify with shiatsu, acupuncture, cupping, Thai foot massage, and
other mini-treatments, sip tea, channel your "vital energy" in a qi gong
session, have your pulse checked, drop in on a gallery tour, and unwind
with live Chinese music. Be there for the first MATCHA of the year.

Support Your Local Asian American Bands (like MUD)

Mud.jpgMud, a bay area-based Hyphen favorite, released their first full-length album "Yearbook" this week!  Check it out on iTunes here.  As a fixture of the San Francisco music scene since 2001, Mud has
developed a strong loyal following of fans addicted to the band's heavy
guitar riffs, infectious melodies and collection of high energy pop
songs.

Check out their new video for the single "Should've Known" and help them reach 25k views by this Friday for MTV consideration.

And for you bay area folk, come support them LIVE at their CD release party this Friday, April 25th. Cast of Thousands, another hyphen favorite, will be opening for them.
