Limited Express (has gone?) - coming to US this weekend!

[mousepod]

When Heather and I went to Japan with NA and €uro this year, we went to a concert on the recommendation of Ken from JapanLive and were not disappointed. Now Ken tells us that there's a "don't miss" show coming to California this weekend. That's good enough for me!

His recommendation:

If you are in the U.S. and Limited Express is coming your way, skip work, cancel important dinner appointments, TiVo your favorite TV show, put off proposing to your future wife etc., and go to their show, because these guys are really worth seeing (especially if you have a taste for alternative Japanese music)!

His review:

Limited Express (has gone?) was the band I’d been most looking forward to tonight, because I’d seen a DVD recording of their show, and they seemed wild and intense in a fun musical way. The trio didn’t disappoint. The female vocalist/bassist, who wore a yellow tank top and tight denim shorts and had huge hair, would at one moment sing in the most rapid-fire Japanese I’d ever heard, then would scream in a strange, vibrato way, and then run from one end of the stage to the other, all the while playing the bass with total control. It’s hard to describe the sound—maybe, a cute, punk Captain Beefheart on speed?—but I was completely absorbed by it, and bought one of their CDs after the show.
