Tokyo Live Guide - March 2010

By Jonti Davies

wednesday 3rd

Trashcan Sinatras @ Shibuya Club Quattro (19:30 | ¥4,000)

Upbeat rockers and by all accounts top chaps.

thursday 4th

Trashcan Sinatras w/ Sunny Day Service @ Shibuya Club Quattro (19:00 | ¥6,000)

The Scots return for an extra show, this time with capable support from Japan's own Sunny Day Service.

friday 5th & saturday 6th

Placebo @ Akasaka Blitz (18:00/17:00 | ¥6,500)

Aging like a fine wine? OK maybe not, but there's no arguing with the strength of Placebo's glam-grunge sound.

saturday 6th

Simian Mobile Disco, Gold Panda and Dex Pistols @ Warehouse 702 (23:00 | ¥4,500)

Some of the cutting-edge electronic dance artists and DJs from the UK and Tokyo, all together under one rather large roof. Be there!

saturday 13th

Shonen Knife @ LIVE HOUSE FEVER (19:00 | ¥3,000)

It's the Knife! What more do you need to know?

monday 15th & tuesday 16th

Vashti Bunyan @ Billboard Live (18:00 | ¥TBA)

Folk legend, "Godmother of freak folk", and the owner of a magical buttery voice... Vashti should have the retired hippies out and tie-dying again alongside all those young Devendra/Joanna fans.

tuesday 16th

Dirty Projectors @ Shibuya Club Quattro (19:00 | ¥5,500)

Quality avant-pop from Brooklyn, NY.

friday 19th

Ellen Allien @ Unit (22:00 | ¥3,000)

She's a bit good at making people dance, is our Ellen...

saturday 20th & sunday 21st

Klaus Schulze @ Tokyo International Forum Hall A (18:00 | ¥TBA)

The Moog pioneer shows up in a befittingly majestic setting.

sunday 21st

The Shoes, 80kidz, Gold Panda et al @ Womb (23:00 | ¥4,000)

Another "Gan-Ban Night Special", another reason to take the Monday off.

sunday 21st & 23rd to 26th, 29th

Bob Dylan @ Zepp Tokyo (16:00/18:00 | ¥12,000-20,000)

I saw him play in the UK a decade ago, at which point he was tearing the classics apart with the help of a pony-tailed jazz band... always expect the unexpected.

friday 26th

Ogre You Asshole vs. Deerhoof @ Liquid Room (18:00 | ¥4,000)

Soundclash time at Liquid Room! It's gotta be Deerfhoof FTW, surely.

sunday 28th & monday 29th

Galactic @ Shibuya Club Quattro (19:00/19:30 | ¥6,000)

From New Orleans to Tokyo, this should make for a superbly smokey end-of-the-month jam.
