Hey, I’m DJing at a wild, all-night, wilfully nerdy shindig in Tokyo in a few weeks, so I thought I’d plug it here.
It’s at Sangenjaya Hell’s Bar on March 21st. Should be fairly raucous and rad!
Here’s the info from Facebook
In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire WILD MOOD SWINGS!
Hey Sir or Madam! Wild Mood Swings is an all-new, all-night, all-mix FREE DJ party in Tokyo. We play an unpredicatable mix of different tunes, aimed to frizzle-fry your brains! Ideal for those with short attention spans, like the guy from Memento.

TEL：03-6805-3375To get to the bar take the Denentoshi like to Sangenjaya (one express stop from Shibuya). Take the North B exit, go straight ahead, past Family Mart, past Lawson, walk for a couple of minutes, and it’s on the left, next to the 99yen shop. It’s on the second floor, up a spiral staircase.
