at Snug Harbor in Charlotte NC with the side. and Red All Over.

Really nice people. It was great to meet them and play with them.
After the show, a nice man by the name of James came up to me to introduce himself with a bunch of Japanese candies. We had a nice little chat and he ended up letting us, or was forced to let us, stay at his nice house in the depth of North Carolina mountains. Thank you James!

We’d love to come back there on the next tour!

And today, we simply drove from Charlotte up to near Indianapolis, and now I’m writing this poop at a certain Motel 6. I hear a girl moaning, probably of pleasure, from next door… How beautiful.

We got two more shows and will be back to Japan.
See you at the next show!

The Cave in Chapel Hill NC.

We drove 5 hours to get to this place, only to play for a 0-person audience. This night we made a staggering, magnificent, earth-shaking, 5 bucks. What a great night!

We started out our show with a 0-person audience. Very fucking cool. A really cool dude walked in during our third song and started rocking out BIG TIME by himself, shoutin, headbangin, moshpittin and all, all by himself.

We really appreciated this man and his “audience participation” which is hard to come by in a night like this. We really did. He was going nuts on us all on his own. He was having a blast and we loved him with all our hearts. Sadly, he was only to get kicked out by the bartender during the next song… We resumed to continue to play a show for nobody…

Looks like it’ll be a long time before we get to come down this way.

The Red and The Black in DC!
Back in DC for the third time!

We played with a killer L.A. band Graydon. Not only were they a killer band, everybody in the band was so cool with us we really appreciated it.

The handsome Ben, who came to see us last time we played D.C. came out to see us again. Thanks Ben, you rock!

Though we had a Monday turnout, we had a great time playing there.
See you on the next tour!
