Tokyo Jam in Kichijoji from Alex Brooke on Vimeo.
Meet Keita ( guitar, vocals ) Kenji (guitar, vocals ) Ethan (drums) a.k.a Tokyo Werewolf and yours truly-ish on bass. In this vid you can see us jamming at a rehearsal studio in Kichijoji before our gig at Mandala, a live house round the corner.
Keita and Kenji are quite prolific in their musical output. Both of them write the melodies, lyrics and raps for their songs of which I have actually lost count.
Ethan introduced me to them back in the small and smokey Ruby Room open mic dive bar in one of the nooks and crannies of Shibuya. They asked me to play bass for them one night and the rest was history… well a few months at least.
We’re hoping to gig more regularly and somehow find cool places to perform but without the bizarre guarantee system in Japan where the band fronts the money for all the tickets in advance. Here in Japan, you aren’t just playing to bums on seats, you have to get them there too.
I’ll be posting more gig info up here soon.
