I have been lucky enough to come across an advanced copy of Bondi Tsunami (The Music Video Motion Picture) before its release in Japan. It is an Original from the Producer in Australia so don't worry no pirating going on here!
We are going to hold four screenings and After Parties to celebrate this East meets South/West film. Japan Collides head on with Australia, and the result is a fun joyride, sometimes comedic, exploration of mind, body, and soul. BT is very visually stunning as well as music to your ears. The Soundtrack really stands out and holds its own. If you want to check out something fresh and new, then look no further. This film shows another side to the Japanese working man, its shows what if the walls come down and the freedom provided many others of the world comes to light. Four Characters meet up in a Wizard of Oz meets Manga meets Endless Summer.
The first night of the Shinsaibashi tour will be on Sunday December 3rd at 8:30 pm at Sam & Dave 5. The Movie will start at 8:30 and will be followed by some delicious abstract tunes by Ange (HiJak, Haven, Imago) and TripleBypass (HiJak,Colossal, Eskimo Special Records). Drink Specials include 300 Yen Shots of The Lords Juice (Tequila) and 500 Yen for all other Drinks!This is a great space to open up with plenty of screens to view it on and lots od space to dance after. Plus 300 Yen Shots of The Lord's Juice, what more could you ask for!
The second night will be at the latest Friday night Hot Spot, Zerro. The action Takes place on Friday December 8th at 8:30 pm. It will be shown on the large screen at the back of the fishbowl. To make it a little extra special Kosuke is cooking up a Roast Plate with a Beer for 1200 Yen. If you know his cooking, you better get there early with your bib on. As its going to be the kick off of the weekend the tunes will be flowing from Zerro Resident Symian (White Label Records) and TripleBypass (Hijak, Colossal). Expect a late one!
Moving west a little bit to Kita Horie, we will be showing this film in the Artistic Cafe know to many as Absinthe. The Adventure begins on Sunday December 10th at 8:00 pm. Back to being Absinthe Minded, Dmitri is giving Absinthe away for 500 Yen a pop, a steal of deal. Come early and order some delicious treats to watch with BT. It will also be a special night of music with Osaka's # 1 Dynamic Duo, which will be playing a Variety of gigs throughout the month. TripleBypass and Tony Clifton aka Cashmere will laying down a memorable set. So don't be a stranger and come on out and relax.
The Final night of Bondi Tsunami is going to be an introduction of a new place to many. Brody is one of the best kept secrets in Shinsaibashi. I have been going there for quite a while, but reluctant to share it with everyone. But now is the time. I would have to say I believe it to be the best Mexican Cuisine in town, make sure to try the Flautas. The atmosphere is a breath of fresh air, it truly transports you south of the border. It is like being in a roadside bar along the Rio Grande that has become a Shrine to Wrestling. Once you try it you will come back for more, guaranteed! There Tequila selection is also second to none. As for the After Party Monkey (BikeClub, DUT) and TripleBypass (HiJak, Colossal) will be throwing down a few beats with a latin feel. This one shall also go into the wee hours.
