It's not the biggest scene in the world, but there are more people out there doing something that falls under the general heading of "Noise" or "Experimental" than many people realize. On the other hand, the scene is small enough that many of us all know each other.

I cannot tell you how many people have gotten in touch with me because of that site!

WARNING: Some of the images that go along with some of these artists may be found offensive to others! C.C.C.C. is one of the oldest Noise groups out of Japan. The Boredoms are more Noise Rock.

Played a show with Pika last year when she was with Picachu/Makoto. You are right about her drumming! Tabata Mitsura was an original member of the Boredoms and has played with some of the bigger Japanese Noise artists like C.C.C.C., among others. I thought I should mention Phantom Family Halo because they were so cool, and they were also providing the backline for AMT. Thanks for the b-day wishes!

No Pika this time, but Tabata Mitsuru was an added guitarist on this tour. Phantom Family Halo was the other band on the tour, by the way.

Hello! I have been celebrating my 45th birthday and have been away from the computer. This tour was the best one I have ever been on. Met some fellow Christians, and maybe turned some other people in that direction??? Everyone in both bands treated me as an equal. I played extra drums with both of the bands on most of the shows. See the Facebook page for new photos!

Starts Monday night!

Sorry! I could only take so many dates. By the way, I already know them. That's how I got these shows to begin with!

Thank you! Gotta remember that Jesus comes first and not me! Feel very blessed that God wants me to be in the position that I am in.
