Yokohama mama

Saturday night was a Two-Set-Tony affair in Yokohama, a town a 40-min train ride out of Tokyo.


Our first gig was at the 'dragon club' and steve dressed up inappropriately for  it – turns out he thought it was called the 'drag club'.

The dragon club had the best band room we'd ever seen – it was decked out with porn style couches that the boys had a cheeky snooze on while Craig and I went out to explore Yokohama.

We walked through a market and later stumbled across a little shop packed with junk – I guess a Japanese equivalent of an op shop. The old man in the shop had a close resemblance to Mr Miyagi.

The gig went off without a hitch, something we're getting used to here in Japan. The venues and banks alike are super professional and so far shows here run as smoother than Gartner's garrys.

 

Our second gig of the night was 'Reclash 32' at Jack Café Bassment, our closest thing to a plny 2am set in Japan.

Upon arrival we all got decked out in Fumi's 'What's up' t-shirts. Each shirt was a unique colour from a limited edition batch and Steve looked like a rudeboy in his spew green one.

 The night sped by and after an amazing DJ set from Yusuke and countless ladies asking for Craig's number it was our turn to play.


Shit got hectic.

Anty was hanging from the roof and fell at some point.

Ning slept through our set but woke up briefly to throw an apple at Steve's guitar and break his strings.

Anty at that apple.

Steve was asked "are you pregnant with twins?".

An abundant amount of beer got poured on the floor, Anty's Korg, Craig's Bass etc.

Sound system went off and resulted in a massive stacks on.

The Japanese mafia rocked up and bought our C.D

 

After a great night we trained home at 7am in broad daylight, and Craig finally made it to his bed.
