Heh, the underground/garage band in Japan in very popular right now. Well at least when I was there. It was just one of those cool things that high schoolers where into. -- this one was pretty slick.

BTW, thanks a bunch for pointing me in the right direction for that Karaoke booth place on De La Montagne. I found it today and I was syched to hit it up some time soon. Thursday actualy. I'm going to try to drag as many people that I can. Hop on by round 8pm if you feel up to it.
