Friday night was the first gig of our Japan tour, and the scene of the crime was Shibuya 'Glad' in Tokyo.
The memories of our previous Japan tour flooded back, with all the hectic craziness of Tokyo being both exciting and a bit overwhelming.
The venue 'Glad' was really cool - there was a dance floor for skanking as well as raised levels that surrounded the stage.
Rei, the frontman of 'Rei Maestrogiovanni Band' had organised the night and he was an awesome dude. The line-up included some really cool punk, ska and reggae bands. One band reminded me of Sublime, and they served up some tasty reggae yoghurt.
We were all super excited and couldn't wait to get up on stage to make some ears bleed and break some girls hearts. After munching down on some Mos Burger, throwing back a cocktail or two to ease the nerves, and dancing away to the other bands we finally got up on stage to show Japan that we were there to party. And party we did.
The crowd were awesome and were singing along to our songs. It was surreal! Not to mention the bald guy that Anty was flirting with.
Anty was crowd surfing before the end of our opening song and Craig was moshing his head like it was going to fall off. We also had special guests who rocked out on the horns - Akari and Mihoko.
It was an amazing night and heaps of fun.
We'll be back again to tear it up on Saturday 15th September at club Kinoto in Shibuya.
Arigato!
