**UPDATE**We finally have the details worked out for this Club Fleeze afterparty.
Doors open at 9:00, show starts at 9:30.
Tickets are 500yen plus drink(500yen)

Lineup/schedule:
9:30-10:00: The Saturday Nights
10:00-10:10: Calm Down (Japanese manzai comedy duo)
10:10-10:40: Nekolove
10:40-12:00: "Bar Time" (that's all you!)

Yes, you read correct, there will be a Japanese manzai comdey duo performing before us. If you are new to Japan or you've been here a little while, this is something you shouldn't miss!
We're going to play longer than 30 minutes so have no fear. And they're going to keep the bar/club open until midnight for us. So that's nice.
***END OF UPDATE***
For everyone staying on, welcome back, and for all the newbees, welcome to Gunma!

As you all know the famous welcome Beer Garden Party is taking place Saturday, August 30th at the Takashimaya Beer Garden. If you're anything like me, 4 hours of all you can drink beer is never quite enough to fill the hole, and by the time 9:00 all of a sudden magically appears, I want to know what's happening next "where's everyone goin'?"

Have no fear Gunmamaniacs! This year, Big Daddy Brigg is going to take care of things! This year we have set up a live Rock and Roll show just for you! Gunma's very own #1 semi-Gajin band NEKOLOVE will be playing a mindblowing set of original hard rock tunes to get you're heart pumping! The evening's band lineup is still being finalized (Read: I'm scrambling around right now to get some more bands on the bill) But Gunma sensations the Subterrainians (Rock/rockabilly/punk) are rumored to be appearing as well and Gunmas own Japanese hillbilly bluegrass band The Mountain Boys (they're awsome!) may be there as well. There may also be some acoustic performances later on in the evening from some of the guys from Nekolove and Nikujaga.

We've been working with Club Fleez, and even though they were normally closed on this night, they are opening up and staying open late JUST FOR US!

The-actually-not-so-bad-news...

I was trying to get this whole thing to roll for free, but low and behold, it seems like in Club Fleez's get rich quick scheme, they actually want to pay thier employees for the extra work they will be doing to keep the place open for us;-) Normally shows can run anywhere from 1,200yen to 2000yen at Club Fleez. They're going to let everyone in for 500yen a pop. Like I said, I was shooting for free, but I think 500yen is more than fair. They will also charge you for a drink. Which really isn't that big of a deal. They charge you an extra 500yen at the door, you get a drink ticket, you go to the bar and get a "free" drink. So at the door be ready to cough up a cool 1000yen. Not too shabby, me thinks.

So once again, welcome everyone (or hello again) and get ready for Saturday August 30th to rock out with your rooster out, with NEKOLOVE!
