alva noto rocked the cheesy dancefloor last night. had to wait till 3.30am though. was great to see him close up after seeing him at sonar2

my friend played a few nights ago in Tokyo, in a cafe in Kichijoji. I wish i could have been there to hear her sing.

So i went to see this band, with my friend On and her auntie from NY the other night.. didn’t really know what we were going to but it was so worth going. and even though they had audio issues, it was a magic event, really amazing emotional output from them to the audience. i took a few little videos, but it does do the event any justice. but i want to share it here anyway, go check out there website www.thehiddencameras.com and if you can see them live.

Last night we had a video and music performance event in Sendagaya, Tokyo at NoNoYes Underground. It was a great success i think, we had sellout crowd, 50+ people in the tiny venue, we only had 10 seats i’m sorry.

Thanks to all the artists,

cliche, pharge, Sundullers & Yanadullers, 4D Modulation Studio & Yukiko Tsuda

Thanks to everyone who came and to Sawako for all the work involved in helping run the event.

another Superlight VJ event is organised for Tokyo, see superlight site for more info
