Two great bands at Pena.

This evening we went to a nice small hole in the wall club called Pena. It was really nice, and stangely had many buzz light year figurines throughout the place. Kim's student , Kimikp told us about the event, and we are so happy we went because it opened us up to a genuine Japanese musical experience. Every one exept us was japanese, but we were warmly welcomed at the club. Kimiko's husband was the gituarist for the main band that played that night, as well he is a gitaur teacher for the opening band that played that night. The 1st band was called "soul explosion" and the lead singer had a great voice.

The music was really good, sort of rock and ballads mixed to gether. I understood few words, but i did understand the word "anata" that means "you". So i could undersand that he was singing about some one, possibly a lover...maybe a woman. So It was great. The main band was amazing, sort of rock-a-billy, jazz, rock altogether. The lead singer has 2 gorgeous little girls that me and shiv are planning to steal later on this year.

The band sang twist and shout in englsih, and we got the lace going by singing and dancing and screaming for an encore. The engish songs that the band sung were really interesting to listen to because I think some japanese singers memorize engish songs by phrases, so when they sing the phrases, many words run into one another. When this happens, you cant really understand the word, although they are in english. But its the thought that counts, and the effort was amazing. we danced the night away, then dragged our selfs to work at 730 am the next morning. I dont feel so young no more....

ps in the picture with dom and shiv dancing...yes that is a pooh bear swinging and swaying from shivs pocket!!
