Thursday Night: Japanese Sunday, Swim Party, Roxy Jones

For a last minute show, Thursday night was a damn good bill, the show was free, and while it wasn't a packed house, a lot of people showed up, so it was a really fun night.

Roxy Jones were originally set to start at 9, but at that time the bar was empty so they stalled until some more people showed up. This was the best I've ever seen Roxy Jones. They sound more full and have bridged the loud screams and softer singing to a good level in the middle. Plus, who can complain about the sound at the Casbah?







Next up was Swim Party, and if I gush about them anymore I might seem like a stalker, so for fuck's sake, get their EP and go catch them live at the Casbah on the 24th.









Last up was Japanese Sunday, and I had only heard them once on The Local Pyle and thought I wouldn't be a fan, but last night I was really impressed with their show. Good solid indie shoegaze.





When I uploaded my pics today, I realized I'd taken a million pics of the bassist. Sometimes I just turn into a groupie, I swear.



I recorded their final song but it ran over 100 megs on my camera and YouTube has a limit, so if anyone can tell me some free shareware I can download to edit the video or condense it, I'm all ears.

I finished my evening at the Ken Club where I bumped into some friends and seemed to let all responsibility fly right out the window. Sometimes that can be a really good thing. I can't believe I'm home at 10:22 on a Friday night. I gotta get the heck outta here. See ya out.
