Polysics!!!!

Last Thursday, Team RGB and Cup went to go see Polysics at Black Cat over in D.C. As soon as we enter, we see Chen, Eric, and another friend, Terro. Shame on the rest of you for not coming! You missed a damn good show!

The opening acts were great. Green and I really liked Black Gold, the first act. The drummer had a really cool look and energy. The lead singer/keyboardist occasionally performs as Panic at the Disco’s keyboardist, but Black Gold is his official band. Next up was Jaguar Love. They were a high-energy Indie/Rock band. Unfortunately, the crowd was not feeling them. I liked them, but it was a little apparent that they were not really into the show. Their guitarist kicked ass, and the lead singer had a pretty unique voice.

And finally, out came Polysics! They came out to set up their own instruments. I caught myself thinking “well… this is a little anticlimactic. They killed their dramatic entrance.” I was worried the show was going to be weak.

Holy shit was I worried over nothing.

They had an AMAZING show. I really wasn’t expecting it to be so fun, but the crowd was flipping out. Hiroyuki really knew how to get them pumped. Engrish’ll do that. Hiroyuki was crazy. The crowd was crazy. Fumi (bass) and Masashi (drums) were crazy. Kayo (synth) was a robot. I love her.

Unfortunately, the camera we brought died before we could take a lot of pictures.

Luckily, our new friend, Keang, sent us these:

As you can probably tell, we were right at the front of the stage. We partially have the mosh pit to thank for that. Who the hell would have expected a mosh pit at a Polysics show?! Someone even threw Green into the air and he crowd-surfed for a good bit.

Otsukare!

When the show ended, and the crowd left, I went to go buy a shirt and stickers for the band to sign. Hell yes I'm gonna get their signatures! Even came prepared with a sharpee. Check the previous post. What's with asians and their ability to draw cute shit? Can everyone do this?!

Keang had to leave the show early, so we don't have any pictures of RGB actually with Polysics... but we've got the signatures to prove it. Green got everyone to sign his tie, and Masashi even signed a broken drumstick that Hiroyuki gave to the crowd.

I forgot my camera, and Red's camera died... so we're waiting on another friend's pictures. Until then, enjoy my signatures from the band members ;D
