Screamfeeder arrived at my place at 5.30 am Saturday morning and collapsed into three waiting futons after a couple of shows (Kyoto and a The Whats show in Shinjuku) and all-nighters rendered them utterly exhausted. There is a typhoon floating around which made staying at home all day in jammies drinking coffee and listening to music completely justifiable. It was great to catch up on all the news and gossip and just hang out with some good 'ol home town crew. They are such lovely people.

We did manage to haul our arses into Shibuya last night for Miaou's CD launch at O-East. Miaou played the best gig I've ever seen them play, and to the biggest crowd I've seen at O-East (and at a Miaou show) and I got teary with pride as the crowd actually whooped and hollered between songs (something pretty unheard of at mellow music shows in Tokyo).

In the post-show melee, I got all celebratory and ordered a Bloody Mary which ended up having tomato juice which probably should have been thrown out that day. Within an hour of drinking it my stomach was pulling some pretty
interesting moves all on its own... So yeah, it's been a pretty quiet day for me today.

The photos show Tim, Dean and Kellie Screamfeeder heading off for their show tonight in Kumagaya - some far away province... they are sleeping at the venue (again). It's hard to tour Japan on a shoestring. But damn they'll have some stories for the grandkids.
