Style Band Tokyo 4th Anniversary

Fresh from the release of their first compilation album, indie party organisers Style Band Tokyo are throwing a three-room bash this weekend, involving many of the bands who featured on the CD. At the top of the bill is Bo Ningen, the heaviest Japanese psych rock act to come with a 'from UK' tag attached (the members are all based in London). If the other bands on the lineup don't actually live in Blighty, that's where their musical affiliations lie: Lilies and Remains have clearly spent a lot of quality time with early-'80s new wave records, while Fukuoka's Hyacca and Nagoya's 6eyes are clear descendants of the original post-punk generation. Here's a timetable for the event.
