Oreskaband/The50Kaitenz/Pistol Valve/GO!GO!7188, SXSW XXI, March 16, 2007

This is a recaplet till the real review gets posted.

Overall theme of the night: Japanese women with horns.

Oreskaband: I’m not into ska, but I liked the band’s performance enough to get a t-shirt.

The50Kaitenz: I fucking hate garage rock.

Pistol Valve: I had a lousy view of the stage, so it wasn’t until toward the end of the set, when a few people went for beers, that I got a full appreciation for the spectacle of 10+ Japanese women playing horns.

GO!GO!7188: Yuu and Akko know how to strike the rock star pose, and even though I’ve been neglectful of following the band for the past six years, last night made me see the light.

I skipped out on HY because judging from the samples I heard, I knew they were going to be Core of Soul all over again. I’ve also seen the Emeralds before. See my comment about The50Kaitenz.
