Powerful Enough to Turn Goat Piss into Gasoline

"It's 273 kilometers to Fujirock, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."

"It's 273 kilometers to Fujirock, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."

Katsute ni Siyagare is like a swing jazz band of yakuza watched the Blues Brothers a couple hundred times and finally got bored of watching underlings cut off pinky fingers and said to themselves, "We can do that goddammit!" And hell yes did they Friday night 1:15am at the Crystal Palace, Palace of Wonder, Fujirock Parking Lot, Naeba, Japan.

The band, whose name means "as you like it," is seven hard-looking Japanese men in suits led by a Gene Krupa-esque drummer who sings and leads red hot - read: "fast!" - swing numbers with a sometimes ska feel. It wasn't just the doubletime "Night in Tunisia" and infectious goose-step-ability of the music, they've also got the clothes, attitudes, and their brass instruments pumping in the air. With bleached short hair and sunglasses, the trumpet player reminds of a shorter version of Beat Takeshi in Zatoichi. The rest consists of sax times two, trombone, stand-up bass and an 88-fingers Louie.

The only downside this blazing set confirmed is that P.o.W. has in four short years gone mainstream FRF. The "secret party" for freaks, staff and all-weekend bingers is clearly no more. Indeed, the Crystal Palace is new this year, and marvel that it is of wood, stained glass and canvas top, the 800-person capacity capped out early even before Katsute ni Siyagare hit the stage, with at least 70-80 people logjammed around the entrance and waiting to get in - vainly. I had to use the special staff side hatch.

I think really that using a proxy is one of the better ways to unblock myspace. I mean it hides your ip and keeps you safe from admins so I would go with it. Unblock Myspace

Well when was the last time your friend told you something about someone on myspace and you needed to get to myspace to check it out. But the problem is the myspace is blocked where you were. Yeah it happens a lot. Thats a great time to break out a Myspace Proxy and unblock myspace on the spot.
