Friday was our first time playing Judo Chop, a monthly Japanese rock event in Little Tokyo at the 2nd St Jazz Bar in Little Tokyo. ive been to the jazz bar before and i distinctly remember there being a bottle of Santory somewhere in the shelves last time i went ("for relaxing times, make it Suntory time!"), but i forgot to check. cool venue, great host. thanks Judo Chop!

overall our set was alright with with some rough spots here and there, but we're still waiting to review the tapes. i saw a lot of new faces who havent been to our past shows, so thank you for coming out. we also had stickers but forgot to hand em out. the resident band Thee Out Mods rocked the house as well as drawing the moshing fans and the kid who got his t-shirt ripped in a fight and i got beer splashed on me -- so that means someone was doing something right.

below are a few pics. there were more, but the camera was accidentally set to full manual mode so a lot of them came out underexposed. sorry.

Judo Chop @ the 2nd St Jazz Bar in Little Tokyo.

Allen was bathed in a beatific glow while the band played on. note the synchronized movement of heads: "everbody look to their left... NOW!" -- thats discipline.

more shows? soon. we maybe heading into the perilous realm of demo re-mastering next.

venceremos.
