[unreleased]

june was a busy month for us, a gig most weekends in between which we spent a lot of time working on new material. we managed to debut 7 new songs on stage over the last three weeks, including at least one brand new one at each gig. some of these songs i have a feeling are going to become regular fixtures of our set... we are still thinking about the best timing and medium to get these and the rest of our new tunes recorded and released, but we are really looking forward to putting some music out as soon as possible.

this saturday the band all gathered at stuart's house for the first barbeque of the summer, and after some food and drinks we took a stroll with the guitar through inokashira park where we had an impromptu session with a pair of shamisen players. jamming in the park as the sun goes down with some cool old dudes - this is what music is all about. after all that we finally made it to Mandala 1 in kichijoji where for a gig which went well except that Goldflash was feeling the effects of a bottle of wine and his cowbell might have been a wee bit out of time... word has it that a video is floating around youtube documenting this.

our set went something like this:

"運動会のビデオ" [unreleased]

革命の仕組み　Structure of a Revolution

"口紅"　[unreleased]

素敵な偽物 This Wonderful Fake

"最先端なリアカー" [unreleased]

"スカイブルーのペンキ" [unreleased]

"正義の少年" [unreleased]

車輪の下敷き　Crushed Beneath the Wheels

DIY精神　DIY Mentality

グッバイドーナツ自由の女神 Goodbye Donuts (Hey, Statue of Liberty)

hard to believe that it is july already. GamusoFest is happening again on the 15th at Gamuso Asagaya so that will be the next big event to look forward to. July 20th we will be at the Ruby Room playing an event called Alternative Current for the very first time so that promises to be a good evening too. and in the meantime, dont be surprised if we turn up sometime soon in a park near you.
