Japanese band, plays some kind of math-rock (ouch), and sometimes sound like Pele, Ghosts & Vodka etc. Heck, they even did a split with Pele on Polyvinyl. Drummer's a fucking beast.

They came recently, and blew my mind. Probably the best gig in years, for me at least. They sounded completely different from what I heard from the record, which blew my mind even more.

Not sure if they ever went out to tour US/UK (I think just a week ago they played their first show outside japan), but if they do, you probably don't want to miss

Sounds like a good band -- I would otherwise never go see a band called "Toe." The name has a musty, hippy-ish sound to it. Will check them out if they roll through town.
