Nerima Tea Club

Tonight, Nerima Tea Club played at Otoya-kintoki in Nishi-Ogikubo, on our second double-bill with the Iizuka Naoko, Fukushima Hisao, Kosmas Kapitsa Trio. They sounded crystal clear and really dynamic tonight, and I really recommend checking out these wonderful musicians. We really enjoy sharing the bill with them too, they're lovely people and I'm sure we'll do another gig together soon. 
Nerima Tea Club sounded really warm and felt so good tonight, it felt really close like family. I think this is probably because we rehearsed yesterday then afterwards I cooked some dinner for the band and friends. (Pizza frita and sea urchin spaghetti, if you're interested! Send me a message if you'd like the recipe!)
It was so fun for the band to break bread and have some drinks together. Maybe this can become a pre-gig tradition? 
We don't gig often these days, but when we do, I'm reminded that forming a Japanese Renaissance Funk Band really WAS a good idea. 
There are plans afoot for our next gig, and we might make it a Tupperware party beforehand next time!
