Campbell Kneale (let's just call him that instead of that emo bandname he uses nowadays) and Kikuri are pretty much at the top of my want-to-see list... along with Suishou No Fune, but I'm sure that being in Japan you have a pretty good chance at seeing them live too.

You are quite right to feel jealous. It was incredible.

I don't think Tetragrammaton are really known outside of Tokyo, but they are quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. http://www.myspace.com/tgmtn

Mr. Kneale was in top form. His set was one long voice generated drone with a bit of electronic percussion scattered here and there. By the end he looked exhausted and was gasping for air. He finished his set off with a nice curtsey and a bow.

Kikuri was great too. For the first hour or so Haino switched from guitar to theramin to wavedrum and back again, with Merzbow on laptop and a homemade guitar-like contraption. It was loud and strangley soothing. Haino did a bit of that angelic high pitched singing he does while Merzbow let out some bowel rattling tones from his laptop. Just when it looked like the whole thing was over Merzbow wips a pair of drums sticks out of his back pocket and takes a seat at the drum kit Tetragrammaton had been using. I had heard Merzbow was originally a drummer, but holy shit!, he can really play. Merzbow did some free jazz like drum acrobatics while Haino fiddled with his effects pedals, and then WHAM!, Haino starts playing his guitar all Pathetique-era Fushitsusha like with Merzbow doing some almost black metal drum banging. That went on and on until about 5 minutes before my last train home. Somehow I managed to catch my train and made it home. A perfect evening!

re: Suisho no Fune
I saw them play in Tokyo a few months back and only about 7 people showed up. I saw them in Austin Texas about two years ago and nearly the whole town showed up. Strange. They're really under-appreciated on their home turf.

Thanks, mate. It surely will be a lot of fun, considering I will hang out with greenlight.

Nightmare before Christmas? I'd kill to go there.

blunderbuss · 04.21.2009, 03:12 AM

Well, I'm not stopping you - Just make sure that whoever you kill is someone who deserves it.

actually, blunderbuss, now that we've talked the whole thing through with greenlight, I'm starting to become really keen on that idea. I'll check out airline ticket prices and will probably go there to see you guys.

blunderbuss · 04.23.2009, 07:38 AM

Oh my God, he's murdered greenlight.

Black Dice are playing in my town tomorrow. Are they worth seeing live these days?

ScreamingSchool · 04.26.2009, 07:51 AM

New York Dolls! April 9 in St. Pete FL. There's only two of 'em left but that's close enough for me. The new guitarist ain't no Johnny Thunders but on the real he's actually pretty damn good.

Sonic Youth 37 · 04.26.2009, 12:40 PM

Dinosaur Jr. -Tonight!
Peelander-Z-later this week
(possibly) Magik Markers - next month (They're playing 2 minutes from where I am, but I'm away that week)
(possibly) Meat Puppets

deflinus · 04.26.2009, 12:53 PM

no fun. thats it. im broke

maybe lollapalooza. which reminds me, if anyone else is going - me and my friends don't want to spend money on hotels so if anyone's nice enough to let us crash at their place, that'd be great

Kuwa_Slayne · 05.04.2009, 10:15 PM

June 13 in Denver - Built to Spill, A Place to Bury Strangers, and..The Fluid!?
