All Night Fuji: Rust Never Sleeps
When each day's performance schedule is finished and the last power chords have stopped buzzing through thoroughly abused monitors, the trudge starts: back to tents, to the last food court stalls left open, to the remaining beers in the chilly bins.
Many head to the Palace of Wonder to experience the assortment of alternative late night wonders (last year's big hits were Eddie Egal's Fire Show and Big Willie's Burlesque), while many (surprisingly) pass it by.
This year's festival has another ecclectic array of weird wonders for you to see.
The Arena in the middle of The POW will showcase Infernal Varanne's Globe of Death. If you like crazy French motorcyclists locked in a globe-like cage (with a little added fire and beautiful girls), then you're going to like this.
There's also Rookie A-Go-Go if you want a dose of some Kanto area indie rock, or indies from further afield. This writer will be there to catch the heavy, garage rockin' trio of Bo-Beep for sure on Saturday night from 11:30 - midnight. These Fukuoka gals kick ass.
But if you're looking to shake some of that booty, this years official All Night Fuji Party on Friday night at the Orange Court is a rockin' electro affair that promises to keep your Marshall stack buzz going all night. Tomcraft, Tim Deluxe, and audio jack fill out the international side of the roster while Dr. Shingo, Shinichi Osawa, and DJ Tsuyoshi a.k.a. Numanoid are Tokyo's heavy hitters. Worth the walk if you want to dance the night away (and they sell drinks, too). From 11pm.
The Fuji Rock E-team doesn't sleep three days while at the festival. These are some of the reasons why, and some of the ways late night Fuji legends are born.
