Roll Up!! Roll Up!! Prepare for wonder and excitement as Gamuso Live presents the first ever GamusoFest. 15 acts spread over 2 stages and 10 hours of sound to stimulate your audio-visual senses. AND ALL FOR FREE
GamusoFest - the culmination of year and a half’s worth of monthly live shows - has grown out of the Tokyo underground band scene. As Organizer Iain Naughton reveals, “We just planned to do a couple of live shows for mates’ bands as an alternative to the expensive live house scene where you have to sell tickets and so on. It just sort of snowballed into this madness, now I have 15 bands and no idea where we are going to fit them all in. But it promises to be an amazing show and I still have a few surprises planned”.
Starting at 1pm with our all new Outdoor Acoustic Stage and Cafe Bar audiences can move between the outdoor sunshine space and indoor airconditioned band stage, providing the full on urban festival experience. Music ranging from the acoustic pop styling’s of angel voiced Martin Leroux, to garage rock dirtiness of Rolls Roys, the electro bounce of The Frap Frap Fraps to all out Rock Gods The Mootekkis, Icon Girl Pistol and the Watanabes, the all day event promises to have something for everyone. “We have been so lucky to get the acts we have. You can watch the best of the the Tokyo scene for free” Iain explained.
Chris O’Reilly from Tokyo indie outfit Icon Girl Pistols concurs “Gamusofest will be our fifth time playing that mecca of drink, dance and rock, of jager blackouts and champagne encores. Gamuso has been there through marriages, birthdays and breakups, and shall probably be the scene of our glorious rock star choking-on-our-own-vomit deaths. Huzzah!! bring on Gamusofest!!”
The three storey bar includes a counter bar, an art gallery and live space. Gamuso was re-launched in January 2010 by new owner Mark Sullivan, who has been working hard to create an event space for anyone to come and enjoy, “Gamuso had always been my local bar, so when the chance to get involved came up I really wanted to take it back to its roots. Make it place where people could play music, show their art or just come and hang out. It has never been about the money, it’s about giving people a space to have fun. GamusoFest is our most ambitious event but nothing ventured - nothing gained.This looks likely to be crazy fun day and a top band show case.”
So come on, you’d be mad not too . . . . .
