abiroji CD Release party…TOMORROW!
The abiroji CD release party is tomorrow night at Okinawa Cyber-box in Naha. If you are on island, I hope you’ll come out (directions and details are on the abiroji live schedule page).
Okinawa Cyber-box is a new live house, it’s the replacement for Junk Takasago - same guys and staff, new location. This is its opening weekend. We went out there Wed. night to soundcheck and practice, and also to take a look at the new club.
They were still working hard on getting the place ready, mostly putting up lights and some minor carpentry. The stage is all up (with scaffolding!) and there is an upstairs area with seating. I think the downstairs is standing room only, and maybe some benches against the back wall.
It’s a much smaller club than Junk Takasago was, but that’s not really much of a surprise because Junk Takasago was huge - too big actually for most of the events; they usually had about half the main room blocked off for the bands and staff with plenty of room left over. Even so, I think Cyber-box might be a little on the small side (the stage certainly is), but I will withhold judgment until we see what happens tomorrow night.
Well, I’m excited at least we’ve got lots of good bands playing with us, and I hope to see you out there!
