Franco-Japanese Rock and a Bitter club

Saturday was a busy day for me, especially busy considering that nothing of any real importance in the worlds of film making or music has happened this summer.

First off was a lunch meeting with French-Japanese rock band DieByForty to discuss making a music video. The meeting went well enough and we will meet again next Sunday at their studio. Then I will watch them perform, and hopefully get some impressions of their aesthetics and the group's dynamic.

After our meeting, I met up with my good friend, and band mate, Jakey, and went to a club in Yokohama called Studio Bitters. There were a couple of Japanese guys banging out some tunes on the decks, which was fun. But, the main reason was to get a look at the place, as it might be a great venue for an MJ Ultra event later this year. As they say, watch this space.

We drank a few cool beverages and then wandered back to the station. But I felt a real sense of progress yesterday for the first time in a while. As they also say, I don't get out much.

Coppe at Superdeluxe supported by MJ Ultra

Well, it's been well over a month since I posted on this blog. I simply haven't had anything to write about. No gigs, no films and nothing really in the pipeline, although things may start to happen for me over the next few months.
The title of this post is a little disingenuous, as actually I won't be there in person playing an MJ Ultra set. But Jakey will be with Coppe, and may knock out a few MJ Ultra tunes. If you get a chance then get yourselves over to Superdeluxe on September 10th for an evening of electro pop and video stuff. Like I said, I won't be there as I will be in Hokkaido.
