Video game music? Live? And in concert? Just look at that crowd too - damn, man. These musicians are all about actualizing the potentional of gaming soundtracks through epic, orchestral performances, and they've been pretty successful in their quest. It's raw, energetic and definitely not your average Friday night.

The duo first met in one of Tokyo's hippest districts, which isn't that surprising given their look and sound. Having played Fuji Rock with several EPs under their belt, jan and naomi have well-practiced their hypnotic, shoegazey sound for years now, in what's likely to be an eerie, emotional show at Yuyintang on Friday.
Mar 1, 8.30pm, RMB80 pre-sale, RMB120 door. Yuyintang, see event listing, buy tickets.
