I My Me Mine!

Today, Polysics from Tokyo, Japan played at my school (Cal State Fullerton), and for free to boot! They played an hour set, with a one song encore.

My school books two bands every week to play at our school for free on Wed. and Thurs. The person who books these bands is a bitch, and has no concept of diversity. Week after week after week, we are stuck with the same old generic indie crock bands or shitty pop punk bands that all sound the fucking same. However, my roommate, who works at the same office as the bitch who books bands, sometimes is able to have a say in who gets to play. That means, I can expect at least ONE good band a semester. Last semester, it was The Aggrolites, and this semester it was the Polysics!

The place where the Polysics played today wasn't a big place, but it was big enough for them, and they had a lot of energy. The pub was pretty crowded actually. I couldn't understand a thing they said, but it was a very fun show. I was wearing my Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra tshirt, and the merch chick told me that she loved them (in broken English). The guitarist was pretty funny, there was one point where he said that we were going to his school now. "The school of rock, Polysics style!" I bought a Tshirt, and a poster, and had three of the 4 members sign my poster...(The bassist chick went into hiding). I'm contemplating whether I want to go see them again in two weeks in Hollywood!
