PEACH KELLI POP (Tokyo Batica, 30/04/14)

This show could have involved a naked Chad Kroeger playing Skrewdriver covers, and I'd have still come out with a positive impression because THEY SOLD CHEESECAKE AT THE SHOW. But even if no cake of any variety had been involved, this would have been an excellent introduction to the Japanese gig scene. Pink Politics had a vibrant garage-rock Los Campesinos! vibe, the fantastic Miila and the Geeks combined sparse, post-punk basslines with Colin Stetson-style saxophone and the headliners peddled a fun line in Shannon and the Clams-esque surf pop. Great fun.
