Tokyo Gig Guide presents FARM PARTY #7 this Saturday November 5th!

This Saturday, come to the 7th Farm Party gig organised by Tokyo Gig Guide, this time held at Dynamo, a fun little skater bar near Koenji station. I'm excited about the diverse lineup of live music - we have noisy new-wave disco-punk band Jebiotto!, all-girl psychedelic trio Fancy Numnum, international avant-pop band Abikyokan, and mutant sci-fi lo-fi duo Living Astro. DJs Grant McGaheran, Timebred, craig eee and more will be playing danceable oddities at the start and end. Doors open at 7:00 and live music should be finished by 11:00, but from then the DJs will keep you dancing for as long as you'd like to stay. As usual with Farm Party, my video collages will be projected throughout the night. Oh, and it only costs 500 yen!

FARM PARTY #6 this Friday April 22nd

This easter Friday (April 22nd), come down down to Gamuso for the 6th edition of Farm Party organised by Tokyo Gig Guide.
Guest performers will be N'toko, Akane Hosaka and ヤング・フラッテリィズ, plus Farm Party house band Abikyokan and DJs.


We are pleased to have Slovenian electro rapper N'toko take over the mic and sampler on the Gamuso stage.


Everyone enjoyed the blipping bleeping melodies of Akane Hosaka when she played at Farm Party #2 a year ago, so she is back for another explosion of electronica and puppet cuteness.


Causing a stir on the Tokyo avant-disco scene is ヤング・フラッテリィズ, two guys on synth and dance beats, and an odd frontman who is sure to make creative use of the Gamuso live space.


Abikyokan with its members from 4 continents will be bringing their new-wave avant-pop synth-rock sounds to start proceedings.

Guest DJs will be:
Shibuya-kei aficionado DJ 810 aka Patrick from Chipple, Tokyo's Coolest Sound and Tokyo Recohan.
Indie rocker Timutaku from Alternative Current.
Grant McGaheran and craig eee from Abikyokan.
Throughout the night, craig eee will be providing visual projections.

Tokyo Gig Guide presents FARM PARTY #4

by craig



The next super-fun Farm Party will be held this Sunday October 24th at Gamuso in Asagaya. This month's event will focus on experimental music.

Live:


ii (from Australia)
http://www.myspace.com/iitunes
ii ("ai ai") is the abstract, experimental pop duo of Alex Nosek and Jon Tjhia (from Aleks and The Ramps) from Melbourne, Australia. Mostly improvising - and using an array of synthesisers, samplers, guitars and effects - the pair create adventurous and richly detailed music. Their sound sits somewhere between strange electronics, deep drone, ambient techno and guitar pop. They've played with bands including Tujiko Noriko, Beach House, High Places, Fabulous Diamonds, Lawrence English and many more.


OPQ
http://www.myspace.com/opq
OPQ will fill Gamuso with bizarre homemade instruments, toys and their experimental, ambient psychedelic sounds.

Electronica pico pico wildness with gameboys and gadgets.


Moon Face Boys (Kei from My Pal Foot Foot)
