Tokyo's Coolest Sound

On April 12 was the 6th event of the "Tokyo eleport" series organized by indies techno-pop unit Candles. It was held at Shibuya Star lounge, a quite nice venue I hadn't been before, located in the same building as the larger Milkyway. Featured were The Aprils, Cutie Pai, ExceNtRip and Pastel Pants (which I unfortunately missed because of the early start time), and DJs FQTQ and petit.

I got there in time for ExceNtRip's set, a band I wasn't familiar with. The show has guitar and bass playing rock-oriented tracks (sometimes with a metal taste) over pico-pico techno backtracks. The female singer adds powerful vocals and has a strong presence on stage, also interacting with the audience at every chance, not leaving anyone indifferent. I'd recommend them to Urbangarde fans.
