Live at Cafe Ease

So as I mentioned before I played my first show this week in Himeji. Didn't go exactly as smooth as I'd hoped, but considering my last show was five months and 7000 miles ago, I guess it wasn't so bad. Just quieter & shorter than I'd have liked. It was all fine, but I'm sure next time will be much better. After I played Shinsuke Michishita and Makoto Kawabata decided to perform as a duo instead of doing solo sets. They were pretty great considering it was their first time collaborating and they didn't even bother soundchecking.

Awesome to have a guy like Shinsuke living so close. He's making great things happen around here. I also found out at the show that a recent Japanese favorite of mine, the husband/wife (I think?) duo Eddie Markon also live in Himeji & not up north like I'd previously thought. Very cool musical community around Himeji even if it isn't necessarily electronics-focused. Look forward to seeing, performing with and just hanging out with all of them more in the next couple months.
