Hi locals.
I know its kind of short notice, but a few of my friends made a documentary about the tokyo underground music scene that i thought may be of interest to some of you.. The US premier is this friday at the Asia Society on the upper east side of things and it should be a pretty fun time. screening, Q&A with the directors, and a reception with free Asahi dry after. In addition, it corresponds with the yoshitomo nara show which is going on at the same location
they put together lots of cool footage and some interesting interviews, and the bands covered include DMBQ, tenniscoats, Shugo Tokumaru, Nisennenmondai, PARA (ex-Boredoms), Kirihito, d.v.d., and a ton more
here's a link to the trailer:
