Andrea Bowers - Brief Article

ArtForum, May, 2001

10 YAGURA ICHIBAN KARAOKE LOUNGE (Los Angeles) I happen to have found myself in more than a few Karaoke bars, but this one stands out. It's small and intimate--no stage, disco ball, or colored lights. Everyone stays in their seats, so most of the time you aren't quite sure who is singing. The song choices are ingenious and the performances inspired.

A middle-aged Japanese man did a rendition of Peggy Lee's "Johnny Guitar" that brought tears to my eyes.
