JAPAN TOUR 2009 !!!

[BH]

This is a bittersweet victory. Anyone who has seen the hilarious promo video for EU will remember one of the guys (Carl I think?) saying the band split after the Japan tour. A premonition?!!   :o

Get your tickets whilst you can guys...it's the beginning of the end!!!  ;)

I was thinking the same thing but I didn't even want to say anything!

add my vote for jacketfest japan 2009 - i'd actually have half a chance of getting there!!

i knew if we waited they'd come through for us db!

[dragonboy]

Still nothing official here but I've read lots about the Neil Young/MMJ Oz tour...are they playing anywhere near you Ali?

Good to see you BTW  :)

[ali]

you too mister, it's been a while!  :)

there's been no word other than rumours that both neil & mmj will be playing the big day out, which goes to gold coast, sydney & melbourne (& nz).  they're still rumours though, and the only firm confirmations is the actual neil young show i got tix to.  i just can't imagine that they'd come all this way without playing at least a few shows around the traps. tickets to the bdo are really hard to get these days (all the kiddies get on the net & buy them really quick... geez how old do i sound), so i probably won't get a ticket. as festivals go it's ok, just getting a bit too big with too many pissed teenagers wandering around. (again, nanna ali talking here. people also have a tendency to not give a shit at festivals & talk, which one of these days will induce a brain explosion in yours truly).

i'll try and get to as many of their shows as i can... sydney is achievable, we'll just have to see.

fingers crossed for you too!!

i recently popped in one of my favs from the 70's Cheap Trick, Live at Budokan.  One of my favorite lines from this album is Robin Zander saying... "the first thing I did when I got to Japan was buy a Japanese guitar!".

I spent some time over in Japan and Korea years ago, what a freaking treat this would be, what a gorgeous part of the world.  Enjoy DragonBoy.

Cheers CT, whereabouts were you in Japan?

Needless to say I'm pretty f**king excited!!!

Not too sure why the 1000's of Japanese lurkers haven't come out of the woodwork & posted yet...

[red]

Hell yes!!!   8-)

Here's hoping their return flight makes it's way to a Saskatchewan airport and a show ensues.   ;)

[TEO]

You gotta' make Jacketfest next summer Dude so you can have one amore dance with crazylove! Glad you are back, a certain sense of stability ensues.......

[dragonboy]

Thanks K & TEO!  :)

Seriously though, where are all the 1000's of Japanese fans?
Don't be shy if your Engrish grammar/spelling is poor, you'll fit in perfectly with more than half the f**kwits here  ;) ;) ;)

Just got an email regarding Oz & Japan dates. The email says 3 dates in Tokyo...surely that's not right?

2/4 Tokyo, JP - Duo
2/5 Tokyo, JP - Duo
2/6 Tokyo, JP - Club Quattro

[ms. yvon]

db-have you been to any of those venues?  how big are they?

[dragonboy]

Hey Ms Yvon!

I haven't been to any of the venues but I have been to the Club Quatro in Nagoya & I think the one in Osaka is pretty much the same (even though today's email said Tokyo, I think the show on the 6th is in Osaka @ Club Quatro)

Not sure what the exact capacity is but I would hazard a guess at around a 1000...

[dragonboy]

EDIT: Only 700 people!!!  :o

[dragonboy]

Hmm the website says they're all Tokyo too. I hope the show on the 6th is Osaka or I won't be able to make it to any of them  :( :( :( :( :(

3 shows in Tokyo? Can't be right...CC?

[BH]

db, come on!  Everybody gets sick sometime in their life.  Even the occasional pneumonia that will put you down for several days.   ;) They can't get this close to you and you not go.

Hmm the website says they're all Tokyo too. I hope the show on the 6th is Osaka or I won't be able to make it to any of them  :( :( :( :( :(

well, we can't have that. i'll move the 6th to Osaka, especially for you ;)

[ms. yvon]

[MarkW]

Our moderator truly moves in mysterious ways.

[dragonboy]

All the Japanese sites (promoter & venue) are saying only one night in Tokyo?

2/4 Tokyo, JP - Duo
2/5 Tokyo, JP - Duo?
2/6 Osaka, JP - Club Quattro  

I got ticket No.3 for Osaka the day they went on sale...if I ever find the owners of tickets No.1 & 2 I'll beat the crap out of them!!!  ;)
