Gig report: Farm Party 2

We really wanted to hear some more sitar, but we had another place to go, so we left just a bit past 20:00, heading for Gamuso in Asagaya where was being held Farm Party 2, an event organized by the great Tokyo Gig Guide.
We got there catching the end of a set by tsuma-saki, a trio of girls playing synths and drums. They were followed by Abikyokan, a band of three guys of different nationalities (UK, US, Japan) though this time they were accompanied by organizer Craig and another.

Gig report: Little Lounge Little Twinkle at Club 440
Text and photos by Ken M (Japan Live)
Whatever happened to Shibuya-kei? I believe I saw its remnants at the Club 440 last month.
The band was Little Lounge Little Twinkle. The trio just released a brilliant debut album called Stitch, and the show was to celebrate its release.
The guy keyboardist Kida and girl violist Keiko used to be in LP chep 3, a group of classical instrumentalists who came within the orbit of the Shibuya-kei phenomenon. They are part of that complex web of characters who made up the movement.
