ASOBI SEKSU acoustic!

Went to see Asobi Seksu play an acoustic show at the Loft.
Really good. And they sound really different acoustic. At times, if it weren't for the vocals, I wouldn't have been able to recognize the song. (Check out their first album: self-titled, and their sophomore album: Citrus [2006], as well as their newer stuff! asobi seksu on myspace)
The opening band was Lady Danville, 3 guys from Danville, Ca, UCLA grads. Checked out their myspace page before going to the show, read that two of them met at a vocal/choir audition, so was not surprised that they had good singing voices. But their songs were about relationships, "I want you back"— not my type of music. But they were pretty good nonetheless. Here are a couple pics of asobi seksu. (I was in the front row! Yay for small venues/"intimate" shows and nice guys who when turning around and seeing someone short offer to trade places!)
front woman yuki chikudate. she signed her name in japanese on my ticket! :)

The first song I've heard from this band is "I'm Happy But You Don't Like Me". And then the next song I found was "Walk on the Moon", but Yuki sings in English in that track, I didn't like it as much and went on to other music. Now a few years later I'm catching up on their music. Indie rock FTW.

They've just released their new LP titled HUSH about a week ago. I'll have to get on that.
