Fashion Crisis (September 2013)

We're very proud to have as guests at September's Fashion Crisis old friends Satoru Ono and Sumire. This was our last chance to grab them before they leave town in October, presumably on some sort of Bonnie & Clyde-style cross-Japan crime spree, so come along and wish them well on their adventure. Satoru will be playing a live set, while Sumire will no doubt be DJing all manner of indie tweeness.

Place: Koenji One
Date: 9/6 (Fri)
Time: 8:00pm-midnight
Cost: FREE!
Live:

- Satoru Ono
DJs:
- Sumire (Twee Grrrls Club)
- James Hadfield
- Ian Martin

Tententen: Fire Walk With Me (August 18th, 2013)

After my experiment doing a show at Koenji's Art Bar Ten in May, it went well enough that in collaboration with good friends Gotal and Ralouf from instrumental kraut&bass duo Lo-shi, we'd try to make it a regular thing, so starting in August, the third Sunday of every month is hopefully going to feature two bands and a handful of DJs. Think of it as a more live-orientated companion to Fashion Crisis.

Our first show is a Twin Peaks-themed event with Lo-shi performing live, along with indie duo She Talks Silence as well as art by Camille Bui and the mysterious "Toru Yamadera".

Date: August 18th (Sun)
Place: Koenji Art Bar Ten/天
Time: 8:00pm-late
Cost: ¥500+1 drink
Live:
- She Talks Silence
- Lo-shi
DJs:
- Soh (Hysteric Picnic)
- Gotal (Lo-shi)
- Ian Martin (Call And Response Records)
