Last Thursday (9/14/06) I went to the basement of a dorm at Tufts University to see Asobi Seksu play a too-short set. They were only supposed to play for about 50 minutes to begin with, but they got caught in traffic between Brooklyn and here, so they ended up playing for only about a half hour. It was a good reverb-drenched shoegaze set, though, so I wasn't complaining too much. Almost as unfortunate as the short set was the inability of anyone not in the front row to see the band - that's what happens when there's no stage and the singer is under 5'. That also means that I wasn't able to get any pictures of the band. Oh well.
Despite these problems, there's still some very good news that came out of this. I got to "test" a new minidisc recorder at the show, so I ended up with recordings of their whole set. I haven't done any post-production, so the sound is a bit rough (the highs could be turned down), but generally I think it sounds pretty good. All of the songs here are from their great new album Citrus. You can sample some album cuts on their jukebox if you need somehing more than these live recordings. Then go ahead and buy it.

I'll see how long my bandwidth holds up for these files...I'm looking into ideas for moving the files off the Driveblind domain. (Go EZArchive!) Of course, if anyone has any objections to these files being posted, I'll take them down. If you ask nicely.
I have some more exclusive live recordings that I hope to be putting up here soon, now that I have access to the right equipment. I hope the suspense isn't too painful.

thanks so much for sharing the wealth. I was suppose to see them in detroit in april of this year but they didn't make it because their van broke down.
