Alice Underground/Cowboy Bebop!

alice underground 1

Alice Underground is fast becoming one of my favs.  First it was their single and music video “Superman”.  Now check out this video they did with “Tank!” the theme from Cowboy Bebop. one of my favorite anime and it fits Alice Underground’s style perfectly.  Just pure fun!  The video is great and emulates the opening sequence to Cowboy Bebop perfectly.  If you are going to go to Anime Expo this weekend be sure to go to Alice Underground’s concert and support them.  If you are unable to attend check out the video from their YouTube channel and be sure to look them up on your digital vendors – Richard:
