Marshmallow Spike summer

Marshmallow Spike played in Yotsuya last night–their first show inside the Yamanote. Tod took lots of photos.
They get better and better every time I see them. MJ even smiled last night while she played and her MC patter had the audience cracking up. Sweaty men on trains, indeed…
And they know who the fans are: Yoshi dedicated “Stolen Umbrella” (download the MP3) to me last night with a quick “for Kristen” before playing the first chords, and he gave me his backstage pass after the show. (Am I almost famous now?) MJ’s pass went to Tracey, who also got her CD signed. We’re such groupies.
The next show is in Yokohama on August 11th. See you there?
