Cool Cats　　　　　　　    　タイガバイト写真

Going through the past year of photographs, some work so well with one another, and some don’t. This one did not make the cut. Love her leather jacket.  When you find a leather jacket that fits you like a glove and feels like heaven, buy it.

The Ton-Up Motors

I saw these fools perform in Tokyo, via the Kichijoji area.  Today feels like a Ton-Up Motor kind of day.

BB Outtake   Tigerbite Photograph 「タイガバイト写真」

This is a photo I took for Bottled Blond but decided it wasn’t really good enough to be in the book.  I ran into her at Shibuya.  When I approached her, she gave me a sinister look and an air of “get the fuck away”, but the moment I asked for a photo, wow, immediate transformation. She lit up, relaxed and posed for the shot.  Would have been better to get the “get the fuck away” shot, haha. She’s Korean by the way, I can differentiate between accents in Japanese, it happens after living there for four years.

They’re a popular underground band in Koenji. Sadly, I’ve forgotten their name.

Live From Tokyo

Live From Tokyo takes the viewer through the back streets in Shinjuku, the intersections in Shibuya, the alleys in Koenji, and all over Tokyo, as it highlights the innovative musicians that create the multi-faceted underground music scene. Welcome to a world where ideas and genres are pushed to their ex tremes, with the general sentiment that there is new music waiting to be created. The film explores this eccentric music culture set within the back¬drop of the modern Japanese megalopolis.
