Propos in Tokyo

My ears are still ringing slightly 1 week later. Picking a spot next to the main speakers up front wasn't the smartest thing to do but was one of the better vantage points in Club Quattro. I held out for Propagandhi to come on before getting all dirty in the mosh. If the previous bands(FC Five, comback kid) were anything to go by this was gonna be rockn. It's all about the circle pit here which looked rad from the outside but was actually pretty tame once you got into the thick of it. Still looking forward to my first wall of death!

Got a few pics and a bunch of 100M+ vids from Akane who chose to stay on the sidelines although she could've handled the mosh easy. Crazy stage diving from 3-high stacked speakers and cannonballs from the stage were the hazards to watch out for. There wasn't much pushing up the front of the pit and it was dead easy to get front row views. Todd was a total nutball thrashing around the stage in his boardshorts and dripping in sweat by the end of song1. They pulled out speculative Fiction to kick it off followed by all the meaner songs from LessTalkmoreRock through to Potemkin city limits. I concentrated on the crowd surfers most of the time giving them an extra boost. I think by the end I probably just looked like a giant foreign dooche throwing Japanese around with both arms :) All good!







There were 200 odd people there so not sure why they don't tour to NZ or Aus. We could easily pack that many into ex-Indigo. There were a couple of Aussie dudes there who flew from Aussie just for this show and got a cameo up on stage with salty Todd. It's been a while since going to a show and was good to get a pit work out. Looking forward to some more jcore and intenational shows soon.




I was suitably smelly by the end so got a  tshirt for the train home. Fully worth the $30 ticket!
I'll try upload the 4gigs worth of AVI to my box back home if anyone wants to see me bobbing up and down like a munter.
