electric eel sock

A recent gig in yoyogi was billed a metal night, and it was in part, though it spread across vintage metal, hard rocking chicks, techno, and experimenting noise unruly mixtures. A bizarre and strange and great night. Notably, metalchix (or something); two girls really rocking great drummer, electric eel shock, whose drummer was not quite as good but entertained the crowd by being naked (almost), and catsuomatic death, in hats and craziness. A couple of my friends were performing, both in catsuomatic and behind the turntables between sets, and the full house was steamed up and melting away.
It can be funny watching shows like this in Japan; as the band rocks on, we're all witness to madness on stage, homoerotic masculinity, and rampant thrashing, the crowd up front, a mixture of small girls, bop up and down like giggling pop addicts. No mosh pit, just enjoy. indeed.

that's it. just a sock, a sock to play the drums.

just back from germany.

is this entry's title a reference to the sock?
