So after the great punk gigs a couple of weeks ago, more followed! This week, me and Alex went to see Hat Trickers (we missed them last time at Antiknock) in Sangenchaya. First up though, was some pre-gaming in Shibuya with Yuta and her friend Amy. Alex didn't make it to the pub, but at least he made it in time to se the Hat Trickers. Pre-gaming consisted of beer, jack n' coke, long island iced tea and some funny chatting about whatever that came into our minds. We got to continue the talking and fuckin' around later at Current that night, which was pretty awesome. Yuta has proven herself to be an awesome drinking partner these last few weeks, which is something that I always appreciate! Anyways, over to the live review. We didn't really see more than two bands that Friday night (Hat Trickers and some low-life punk band with a kinda popish feeling to it. Boring). Hat Trickers never disappoint though, and this time was as good as always. They've stopped using the violin though, so now its 3 guitars on stage instead. Kinda overkill but whatever.
On the following Monday I went to Antiknock with Ian and Jari, this time to see some good Japanese metal. Sqid had the honor of starting the whole charade, and Gotsu Totsu Gotsu topped it all with their awesome Samurai Metal from Kawagoe, Saitama (oh yeah!). Pics below!
Alex and the vocalist dude.
Antiknock is kinda empty on Mondays.
But Sqid drew the audience to the front of the stage with their awesome rock/metal.
