What this is
Two indie bands share the stage for a two-man live — the format beloved in Japan's club circuit where two acts split the night equally, each getting a full set rather than a brief support slot. GONDABAND and LIVFRAIL face off at Shimokitazawa CLUB Que, one of Tokyo's most storied small live houses.
Who should go
Fans of either band, or anyone who enjoys discovering indie acts in an intimate club setting. Shimokitazawa regulars will feel right at home.
Good to know
Tickets are typically sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson (combini) is the most hassle-free option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. CLUB Que is a compact basement live house with a capacity of around 250, all-standing, with a bar along the back wall — it gets warm quickly on summer nights so dress light. Doors usually open 30 minutes before showtime; arriving at door-open is advisable as the floor fills fast for two-man shows. Cash is the safest option for drinks at the bar, though some small venues now accept IC cards.
