Osaka (Jp) @ Club Quattro

We travelled from Kawazaki to Osaka today as we're having a day off. 600 kilometers in 8 hours and a half... We, therefore, woke up in Osaka we don't have to take the van today and that's good news, gathering 17 people in a tour bus gets it easily noizy. We'll kill time walking around in Osaka, that's a pretty big city and judging by the way people look in here, there's a good rock n' roll potential.

The Club Quattro is located on the 8th floor of a sort of mall. A great club with a capacity of 400 people, a great stage, and lights and sound equipments that are worthy a zenith ( big and well known venues in France). We get rid of the soundcheck quickly, it sounds good but ultra loud. Tonight the gig is sold out, tonight we start at 8pm again, and tonight again we strum our guitars as hell. We are starting to get used to the way the japanese audience react, even though their extreme attention and quietness between every songs is still a bit weird to us. AUTHORITY ZERO and LESS THAN JAKE are putting up amazing shows tonight. If you trust Roger (LTJ bass player/singer), Osaka feels like home, and appart the fact I couldn't find any socca (traditionnal meal from Nice) tonight, hell yeah in Roger I trust!!
We end up the evening at the "ROCK ROCK" bar where every bands that toured Osaka are supposed to go. And We meet there the guys from MAYDAY PARADE and PARAMORE that were playing in Osaka tonight too. The athmosphere is crazy and a few beers later, everyone ends up skanking along with the choruses from Operation Ivy, Pietaster and other ska hits that the DJ is playing. A little tired and the legs feeling numb, we head back to the hotel to get some sleep.
