as icon girl pistols we had the pleasure of playing the Underworld three times, and each gig holds really special memories. it featured prominently in our music video for "on the road", including those psychedelic walls and that memorable staircase. it is really really sad to think we will not be able to play there again...and it is not just about the live shows. Underworld was the place where we inevitably ended up at the end of every night in Taipei, listening to records and sharing stories with the regulars until sunrise.
for shinnosuke those memories go back even further - with quizmaster he played their first ever taiwan show there back in about 2005 (?) and that awesome little club inspired a song on quizmaster's first record, for which they have just made a little slideshow of old photos. it's a good track, you can hear it here:
we hope to be back in Taiwan soon, but there is definitely going to be an emptiness where the Underworld used to be. but still, as long as the amazing people of that city are still around, i am certain that there will always be other cool places to hang out.
a little closer to home, we will be playing a couple of gigs in Tokyo next week. On Sunday July 15th we are going back to Gamuso Asagaya for the second annual GamusoFest. Last year was chaos, so expect nothing less this time. Music all day, icon girl pistols will be on from about 9:30pm.
also, we will be at Ruby Room in Shibuya on Friday, July 20th. please stop on by x
