Breaking News Regarding My Music.
I just got in touch with my band’s videographer James about another idea for my band Lewnatic.
He sent me a phone call just now. And we are planning something major in 2023 with Lewnatic.
He just came back from a week-long trip in Spain, and we’re developing an idea for a virtual concert and live concert album held at a remote empty area up in East Bay, California. Which will be kept confidential as we speak. There will be no live audience. We are currently drafting an ambitious idea very similar to Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii pretty much. A concert film that Pink Floyd done back in 1972.
We are right now planning to do a GoFundMe campaign to budget and finance the project starting by Christmas.
I will be performing for an hour at this location once it commences, a set list of Lewnatic and rearranged PLB songs.
I am also talking to Cousin Madeline Lew about making a cameo some way in the film or the other via LINE app via SMS. She may not perform in the concert film, but I’m guessing she maybe down to make a brief cameo somewhere in the film.
We are planning to shoot the concert footage some time in mid-2023 in the East Bay.
This will be distributed perhaps as a concert movie and a live album under the Lewnatic name!
Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen.

THE RISE OF THE PATRICK LEW BAND
Madeline Lew & Patrick Lew
When you mention bands and brands that have held it through these lucrative music times, it would be wrong to leave out “Patrick Lew Band”.
Almost thirteen years and still counting, Patrick Lew Band is a band that emerged from San Francisco, California under the leadership of the multi-talented singer, guitarist, YouTuber, and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Lew (AKA Lewnatic). Since its dawn, Patrick Lew Band has been centered on punk, electronic, instrumental, and alternative rock music that fuses with their Asian-American culture. Honorary members; Patrick Lew and Madeline Lew have held the eclectic electro sounds of the band with more traditional tones dominating their musical uniqueness.
Following on several popular releases such as; “Xclamation! (2021 Album),” “Pariah, Vol. 2 (EP),” “Star Spangled Banner,” “Asian Girls,” “Shelly,” “Orgasm,” “Say Yes,” “Live Fast, Die Fun!,” and “Lady Godiva (Remix),” among others, the band has digitally expanded to over 51 countries worldwide. This has been achieved through the distribution of their music on Patrick Lew’s Lewnatic Records. Most of the band’s credentials have always come in virtue of the Internet and other digital streams.
In crossover rock from J-Rock style, Patrick Lew Band score with powerful catchy tunes and their gifted agility under the captainship of Patrick Lew. The San Francisco-bred star has existed in the music sphere for over 20+ years. He has been recognized for his ingenuity and was also inducted into the 40 Under 40 Hall of Fame. There is no greater navigator for the band than Patrick Lew.
Patrick Lew Band achieved even more popularity when they featured on St. Patrick’s Day in 2020. Even though their appearance seemed as though it would be the last time we were seeing them, many rock fans are ecstatic that the band still lives on today. In July of 2022, Madeline Lew chose to lay back a bit from making full-time appearances with the band, but she still promised to make occasional appearances. There is no sign of end when it comes to Patrick Lew Band. Their music has lived through the years and continues to the foreseeable future. Through their intensive online engagements, they continue to entertain their fans with those popular YouTube videos and real-time live-streaming. Innovation in the genre of rock music shall not cease for as long as we have Patrick Lew Band.
At the very moment that we celebrate the band’s outstanding experience, Patrick Lew just released his newest single entirely dedicated to all their worldwide fans who have been with them since all this began. With much appreciation, this Sound Raw Japan-produced track dropped with love and wrapped in an instrumental rock piece. Only Patrick Lew could pull off such level of gratitude.
We continue to follow Patrick Lew Band on all their forthcoming projects as they keep on leading in the world of rock all over Asia, the USA, and worldwide.

Storyline: Cousin Madeline Lew stepped down as a full-time member, and mutually parted ways with my band PLB. It was a mutual decision. She’s going back to Asia next week! She will still make occasional appearances on my YouTube videos and when collaborating with the Patrick Lew Band in the foreseeable future however! The video I uploaded that premiered worldwide on my YouTube approximately at 9 PM was her send-off and wishing her good luck for her next journey.
In Real Life: Madeline served and cemented her purpose and mission in the Patrick Lew Band. And I decided to partially retire her character from PLB. The reasons were, she’s did all she had to to make sure I achieve where I wanted with my music, and made sure I accomplish what I needed to in music and in general. Madeline was basically a Gender Swapped version of myself, and was a part of the Patrick Lew Band for 7 years. The character also brought new fame and success to my music, opened doors for me as an artist. And restored my public image and reputation.
Madeline wouldn’t be a feasible idea to present onstage on tour with me due to limitations in technology and budget. You can’t clone two versions of us onstage without a hologram! She was basically created through Special Effects and CGI digitally on my phone and computer!
Because I signed a 1-year record deal with Bentley Records as a solo artist under the band name Lewnatic rather than as Patrick Lew Band, I wanted to separate PLB and Lewnatic by keeping whatever associated with Patrick Lew Band as exclusively independent for the indies, like Madeline Lew and the music too. And keep all my intellectual property and rights to PLB from anyone outside PLB. Nonetheless, Madeline will still make appearances sporadically from time-to-time on some of my future YouTube videos and the music too. She’s guaranteed a spot for life as a member of the Patrick Lew Band! 🥰💗🤝

5 more days is not going to be a good day to look forward to for Japanese people who grew up listening to the rock music legend Yutaka Ozaki.
April 25, 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of my favorite Japanese rock star Yutaka Ozaki's passing.
He's one of those people from my culture and tribe that changed the game. And he also changed and touched many people's lives through his music and rebellious personality and charm. He spoke out about injustice and problems with society. It was always something I could always relate to, being no stranger to being the odd man out myself.
A lot of Japanese or East Asian people were able to relate to Ozaki-San because he spoke out and stood up to society.
My own music in PLB (Patrick Lew Band) was also directly influenced by Yutaka Ozaki. I done 2 cover songs of his: "I Love You" and "Shelly."
He died on April 25, 1992 in Tokyo at age 26.
But the music lives on forever. And will continue to do so.
Rest in power, Ozaki Yutaka.

We were on the cover of a music and entertainment magazine up in Atlanta, Georgia last year in November! Issue No. 18. Little known random fact about that. We (PLB) were the first East Asian/Japanese music artists to be on the cover of that magazine! A milestone indeed. And we’re not even a mainstream or major-label band either. We’re very indie/underground as far as you can tell! Despite it all, I’m very happy how my side-hustle/indie music career turned out!
01.22.2022
We are currently working on a new album! Our good friend Madoku will be making her first appearance on it as a member of the band.
Stay tuned peeps!

WE ARE NOW NO.12 ON HERE!
Thank you, everyone!
