Saitama band Traditional Drank played a show at Kita Urawa Kyara this past Monday, injecting some much-needed cheer with their Irish-styled punk into the somewhat dark livehouse. There have been a few member changes over the past few months, but everything seems to have pretty much stabilized, though they are still using a support bassist.
For some pictures from the show, check out the gallery on either:
Last night was Zakurero’s Tour Final at Nakano Moon Step. Here are some shots from the show. The lineup was:
Jersey Devil
49Ball
Igirisujin
AxTxS
The Shut Up
Revelers United
Zakurero
It was a great show, and the after-party was awesome as well. Otsukaresama, guys!
Heard about this show a few days ago. Looks to be a pretty good lineup, and definitely for a good cause. It was written up in the Daily Yomiuri the other day as well, so hopefully there’ll be a good turnout.
After a break of over 1.5 years, one of my most favorite bands in Japan, Revelers United (formerly Ping Pong Dash!!), are finally getting back together. Well, technically it’s still Daichi on guitar with J on bass plus a “support drummer”, but I’ll take what I can get.
Daichi recently sent out a mail saying that he couldn’t stand not playing in Revelers any longer, and while they don’t have a permanent drummer yet, they’re going to start playing shows again.
Their first show back will be on 2011/7/23 at Sangenjaya Heaven’s Door. It’ll be a Stackers record release event, so the lineup should be pretty good. I’ll definitely be going, and I hope to see you there!
For quite possibly the 5th time, I’ve rebooted this site. I promise that it will grow from now on. ^^ Don’t mind the layout just yet; I’ll try my best to make it look presentable.
Lots of great live shows coming up; more on those later, along with links to a bunch of great bands, dingy (but awesome) live houses, as well as information on places to enjoy yourself both before and after shows (and by that, of course I mean bars).
So, let’s meet up at a show, or over a beer, and talk about all of the great bands Japan has to offer!
