A huge thank you goes out to HyperJam for having us play this past Saturday. It was great playing with some new friends (Phoenix Ash, Bad Communication) and some old faces (The Shogunate).

As a side note, during our set the police department came and wanted to shut us down for being too loud. This is the conversation verbatim:

Cops: You guys need to shut down, now!
Umi: FUCK YOU!

Okay, so this is how it really went down:

Cops: Can you guys turn it down?
Ray: They are on their last song.
Cops: Oh okay, carry on.

A big thank you goes out to Cindy and Alex who stayed until midnight to watch us play, driving down all the way from Sacramento!

Here is a picture of us at the fine eating established called “Denny’s”.

The bands eating at Denny's

Osu. Hayashi desu.

I love playing gigs on the road since it gives me the opportunity to meet other like minded musicians. It’s hard to find other musicians with staying power, so I was excited to have the pleasure of meeting up with a long time friend and favorite musician kairu of {mid:night} and Schwarze Sonne fame (http://www.myspace.com/schwarzesonneband).

The real ultimate duo

We get like geeky school boys when talking about music, and we also like taking equally as geeky pictures. Good times!

akai SKY will be playing at HyperJam this coming Saturday so if you are in the Bay Area, please stop by and support!
