Dondondon (September 15th, 2013)

Because of a one-off change in venue, this month's Tententen is temporarily becoming Dondondon. This month we welcome the disconcerting tones of Servals and the discount tunes of Nevernevereverland as live guests.



Since we're doing it at a studio, you're free to bring your own booze from the convenience store, or you can buy drinks reasonably cheaply from the staff at the studio if you don't fancy the walk.



Place: Koenji Studio DOM (A & B Studios)
Date: 9/15 (Sun)
Time: 8:00pm-1:00am
Cost: ¥1000 (no drink charge - bring your own or buy cheap from the studio)
Live:
- Servals

- Nevernevereverland
- Hitodama
DJs:

- Sue (Rewind Tapes / Rhyming Slang)
- Gotal (Lo-shi)
- Ian Martin (Call And Response Records)
