Mimi Tatsumi
Mimi’s love for music began as a small tyke who’d drag the chair over to the phonograph console to reach in and play her dad’s records. She’d dance around the house to “Green Onions,” “The Stripper,” Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, Copeland, The Kim Sisters and Fats Waller, transported to the different eras. Born in the early ’80s at UC Irvine’s radio station KUCI , Mimi’s show reflected the scene of the time and highlighted friends and touring bands playing around town. She was Promotions Director for the station and represented KUCI at the New Music Seminar in New York for a few years, and if you were there you know what a blast that was! From Tokyo to Maui and currently back in SoCal at Luxuria, the show has remained true to its origins showcasing the best of punk, funk, rock, metal, alternative, Elvis and whatever else is inspiring in the moment. Expect special guests, good grooves and hearing your requests! It’s “live on the fly” so come enjoy the ride!
