今夜のライブは良かったな…　聴きに来てくれた皆様・共演者・お店の方々に多謝…

the show tonight went really well... thanks to everybody who came to listen, to the other artists, and to the venue staff...

不自分でベースを弾いてる松林幸平は、皆さんもう知ってるかと思うんだけれど自分のシンガーソングライターの活動もしている…　今回は彼はそのシンガーソングライターの形でオープニングアクトも務めた…　一緒に不自分のギターのタカスギケイが飛び入り参加して即興で弾いてた…　松林のサイト…　タカスギのサイト…

Kohei Matsubayashi (fjbn bassist) also plays as a solo singer-songwriter, as you probably already know... today he opened the show as an opening act, doing his solo stuff... Kei Takasugi (fjbn guitarist) backed him up, entirely improvised (not having heard the songs before starting)... Matsubayashi's site is here... Takasugi's site is here...

オープニングアクトの後の、正式に最初の出演者はYour Last Chickenさん…　男性ボーカルがメインで、もう一人の男性ギタリストも女性ドラマーもコーラスで歌って、ハモリがきれいで耳を惹く歌だ…　曲のアレンジも非常に面白い…　バイオリンも鉄琴も登場したりして、デリケートな曲にオリジナリティが満点…　感性の凄いバンドさん…　こんなのは本当に稀だなと聴きながら思った…　CDを購入しようとしたら、売り切れてたんだ…　サイトはこちら…

after the opening act, Your Last Chicken played... male vocalist, plus the male guitarist and female drummer both also harmonize prettily... vocals that pull you in... excellent arrangements, very interesting sound... at times they also used a violin and what might have been a xylophone... very delicate songs, full of originality, excellent taste... you don't often come across bands like this... went to buy their CD, but it was sold out... their site...

そして最後はNeo-Ecoさん…　こちらも優れてるバンドさん…　アコースティックギターが３本もいて、女性のボーカルと男性三人のコーラスボーカルという編成で、心地の良く美しい雰囲気を醸す…　ギターをドラム代わりに叩いたりして色々洗練されたアレンジもする…　素晴らしい二組と一緒に演奏できて嬉しかったんだ…　Neo-Ecoさんのサイト…

last was Neo-Eco... another excellent group... a female singer and three acoustic guitarists who also harmonize... a full, comfortable, pretty sound... at times they'd turn their guitars over and beat them like drums... well-balanced arrangements that make the most of their line-up... it was a lot of fun to be able to play together with two such excellent bands... Neo-Eco's site...

次のフル編成のライブは３月６日(火)に、下北沢THREEにて…　良かったら是非…　初めて出るハコだが、最近の面白い人がたくさん出るようになってるという評判をもつ系列の一店…　こちらは楽しみにしてる…

our next proper show is 3/6 (Tues.) at THREE in Shimokitazawa... you should come... it's our first time there, but according to what you hear it's one of a group of venues where a lot of interesting bands are playing these days... we're looking forward to having a chance to play there...

その前に、デールのソロ演奏やデールとタカスギと二人での出番もいくつかあるよ…　明日もあるよ…　詳しくは当サイトの日程まで…

before that, Dale's got some solo shows, and Dale and Kei have a show or two playing as a duo... details are on the schedule page of this site...
