well, it’s official.
the coolest place in osaka is bears.

its a tiny little basement venue, dirty, scungy and underground in every sense of the word. its been around for 21 years, and they host all manner of musical nastiness. we went to noise may day, a yearly gathering of ‘musical’ weirdos. i’m pretty sure there were more distortion pedals than people in the crowd (and the place was full!). check the video, masonna is a madman, solmania have the coolest modified guitars ever (even better than simmo’s egg guitar) and jojo hiroshige bought out some born-again-christian-looking lady that proceded to produce the most ear piercing shreiks i’ve ever heard. ouch!
