BT on parade - 2007/09/08 - 新港埠頭特設野外ステージ, Yokohama, JP

[threeleet]

Quickie on today, since I'll never remember anything if I don't do it now, and I don't want it to end up like the TSP post (still working on part 3...) -_-;

• 清春 - we were running a bit late, so we heard him starting on our way TO the place, but by the time we got inside & to our 'block' he was done. Recognized a couple songs, like ピストル (黒夢) & 忘却の空 (SADS), and Girl says she heard 少年 (黒夢)
  
• Balzac - seemed ok, but I've never heard them before, so nothing memorable
  
• Runaway Boys - these motherfuckers did a death metal cover of KILLING AN ARAB!!!1 [The Cure] with the intro riff done by a HORN. I'm SO pissed I didn't start taping right away like I'd planned... ended up starting after this band, though...
  
• Age of Punk - did a BT cover w/ the BT guitarist- can't remember which one, though, and I didn't write anything down that'd help. Something I recognized, though, which means it's probably from Cosmos or Darker Than Darkness, or maybe BT best
  
• Attack Haus - random hip-hop-ish band w/ a chick w/ the really shrill Japanese girl voice- not really memorable
  
• 遠藤ミチロウ(MJQ) - he kept on saying お前なんて、知らなああい！ and had a song that I think was called 温泉Fuck... o_O; They also did a BT cover w/ the BT guitarist
  
• Theatre Brook - one long-ass jam song. Seemed like what I imagine a Phish concert would be like, only maybe slightly less hippie-ish
  
• 土屋昌巳 - an older guy that played a bunch of guitar instrumentals, then did a solo song & sang
  
• abingdon boys school - here's where the fangirls started going apeshit. TMR sang ドレス [BT] and a few of their songs that I wouldn't know
  
• Rally - had a Glay guy in it, so more fangirl screaming. They did what I presume was an original, plus a BT cover, You Really Got Me [Kinks] (w/ MCU), and fucking Hyper Ballad [Björk]... o_O;
  
• J -
  1. Break
     
  2. Pyromania
     
  3. Iconoclasm [BT]
     
  4. Feel Your Blaze
     
  Way too short... -_-;
  
• MCU - somehow, although they'd been pretty much right on schedule the whole day (a couple bands even started EARLY), this guy- who required nothing other than a turntable stand setup for his DJ, managed to run at least 10m late. Rapped over some BT music for about 1m, and did a couple other songs
  
• Ken Ishii - techno. Not much to say, other than he ran RIGHT into (w/ no breaks)...
  
• Buck Tick -
  1. Baby, I Want You (w/ Ken Ishii for the beginning)
     
  2. Be My Baby (?) RENDEZVOUS 〜ランデヴー〜
     
  3. (?) Alice in Wonder Underground
     
  4. ROMANCE -Incubo-
     
  5. DIABOLO -Lucifer-
     
  6. 夢魔 -The Nightmare
     
  7. スピード (w/ MCU)
     
  8. JUPITER
     
  Followed by fireworks.
  

Good show overall, kinda sucked that each band only got like 4 songs, but then again, those 4 were way too long in a couple cases. Managed to sunburn my arms & neck despite putting on SPF 50, but I scored a J "FUCK" t-shirt afterward (the 2nd to last one, too!), which I'd seen someone wearing at the last show and said "D00d, I WANT that." Too bad we were so far back that the sound quality varied wildly in 5-10s chunks, which is painfully obvious on the recording. -_-; Oh well.

Tomorrow: OBLIVION DUST.

(edit 11/10: fixed RENDEZVOUS after getting new (as of 9/19) album)
