Saxon Shore is listed on the cover of the April/May 2006 issue of Cookie Scene, Japan’s premiere indie rock magazine. No details on what the article about Saxon Shore actually says, but maybe we’ll get a translation along with the copies they’re bringing back home with them. They have a song on the cd that comes with the magazine, as well. They played their first show last night with Tristeza and it seemed like the Tokyo shows had nearly sold out, so things seem to be going well. I saw The Drift (Temporary Residence) play on Saturday night and was impressed with the upright bass and really incredible trumpet and flugelhorn parts. Thanks to Adam for setting the show up. Last night, a bunch of us relived our old memories and got some sweet potato fries and bread pudding at Silk City. There are conflicting stories about its fate after closing, but it was one of the best places to go to get late night food on a Friday or Saturday night and it may just return after a slight facelift. :::scott:::

In the spirit of NCAA basketball, Decoy Music is having some sort of Post-Rock tournament. There are details here. Saxon Shore is the 6th seed for the US and Yndi Halda is the 5th seed for the UK. There’s some kind of contest involved, so read away. :::scott:::
I was up super super early to drive Saxon Shore to the airport. They’ll be in Japan in a few hours, ready to rock. I’ve got their van for the week if any one wants to go out joyriding. Just shoot me an e-mail. Looks like Adam will be setting up a Half-Handed Cloud/Vollmar show in Philadelphia on 15 April for all of you locals. John is one of our heroes. Well, Adam is, too… They’re closing Silk City. It’s a tragedy… :::scott:::
