Good chops James. This is the first time I have heard you play.

[ElevenColors]

JimmerSD,

Thanks. Funny how it gets easier with time.

[JapanIsDoomed]

Wow this is really tight considering the venue. Rhythm guitar was a little low I feel but I guess you would have lost the vocals if you turned the up. 5d and favourited :D

[sonicphotonic]

I love these videos you do because all the bands sound awesome. :)

[waigugi]

I love your two cameras. That was a great concert. To answer the question on the left, I'm not an expert on drumming, but I think you've gotten better. Thanks for posting.

[ElevenColors]

waigugi,

Yeah, funny thing is, the night before was my first practice after three weeks off. I'm not practicing nearly as much as I used to. Some of the fast bits like in the Lunachicks song are easier when I've been practicing regularly. But I'm learning to relax.

[asdlmaolol]

Damn youtube didn't post my comment, i'm not writing all that again lol.

Great live, the sound is really good.

Thanks for uploading this video, i really enjoy watching bands live.

Cheers mate.

[ElevenColors]

asdlmaolol,

Y'all should come over to Japan then, if you haven't already. Plenty of bands, plenty of places like this.

[trubaduur]

Was the camera on the speaker or did you make the whole room shake?

I love the 2 angles and the end was just gold!

[ElevenColors]

trubaduur,

The camera was on a gorillapod on a side wall counter that can fold up against the wall. So it could have been the counter, or it could have been the gorillapod being too light. But I think it all worked out for the best.

[ElevenColors]

TheDutchGaijin,

Heck, I figure it's just as normal a band name as Led Zeppelin. :-D

[NonStoptoTokyo]

OMG I want to go!

[ElevenColors]

NonStoptoTokyo,

Our next show's not until November 15th, but there's plenty of awesome bands playing all over Japan. Whereabouts are you at right now?

[NonStoptoTokyo]

Well, I live on Izu Oshima...so I don't think there are many bands playing on this island. =P But I'll be in Tokyo Oct. 1-5.

[APOKALYPSE34]

Fucking amazing James!! I really need to come see you and your band show!!! I love seeing a drummer just get up and rock out with the crowed !!

[ElevenColors]

APOKALYPSE34,

Heh, that whole thing was the bass player's idea. Lot of fun though. Should have bought one of them hemp beers.

You're coming in October though, right? Damn we don't have a show until November 15th.

[APOKALYPSE34]

I will still be there!

[heisokay]

Holy shit thats awesome.

Id love to hear some more :l being so far away is a pain in the ass.

[ElevenColors]

heisokay,

We got recording coming up in a week. I'm going to see about making the end result available over iTunes and/or Myspace. Mostly for the challenge, to teach myself how it's done.

[iamtakingover]

cool website [surgery junction] but it's not finished yet right? y couln't i click on bio? :p

[ElevenColors]

iamtakingover,

Really? I'll ask the bass player about that next chance I get. Though I figure it's because we haven't been around long enough to put much of anything there. The "Member" link should do the job for now.

[watcher8o]

Dude, thanks again, this was awesome! You rock! The vocals seemed a little odd/off, though. Not trying to be rude, maybe just the audio of the recording... Everything else sounded great!

[ElevenColors]

watcher8o,

No worries. Recording live audio is hard. Recording with a cam mic, doubly so. Recording with a cam mic when the cameraman is sitting behind the drums, fuggedaboutit!
