Please catch the shows if you are in Korea!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The two TV shows I&#8217;ll be playing on are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. LOVE LETTER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the most popular live music entertainment and chat show in Korea. Hosted by Yoon Do Hyun [rock icon and front man of the rock band YB], millions of Koreans watch this show live on nationwide KBS TV every week. Those of you accustomed to thinking of studio audience in hundreds of people will be in for a massive cultural shock. This show is played out every week in front of a live studio audience of thousands &#8211; like a stadium concert. Check out the vibe when my friends from the band &#8216;Jaurim&#8217; played the show last year&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Img6or9uArY&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Img6or9uArY&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ll been invited to play a 10 minute set on the show on the <u>5th of August<\/u>. If I am not mistaken, the show goes on at 7.30pm. Woo. <\/p>\n<p><strong>2. EBS SPACE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EBS Space is one of the coolest music programs on Korean TV. It takes place at in a live house in front of an audience of a few hundred people. The show is recorded and broadcasted later to a nationwide audience. Unlike Love Letter, which tend to concentrate on mainstream K-pop acts, EBS Space is known for inviting a huge variety of acts from different genre to play on it. These can range from foreign jazz [Bob James] and pop [Jason Mraz] musicians to homegrown ska and metal acts. Below is when Jason Mraz played it with his percussionist:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/qkeeHnxE-fE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/qkeeHnxE-fE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be playing two 60-70 minutes shows on EBS Space &#8211; on the <u>7th<\/u> and <u>8th<\/u> of August.
