Clear And Refreshing/Call And Response has a live event at Koenji 20000V on Friday the 17th of August. There are six bands performing in total, all rocking different kinds of subculture post-punk freakadelica and it will doubtless be fantastic. Featured bands are:

Saladabar
Umibachi
Pia Pia's
Worst Taste
Agolay Culkin
Cottonioo (opening act)
