Hi friends! I hope some of you were able to catch Gezan on their west coast tour a few weeks back. Gezan is the 3rd Japanese band I’ve helped tour the USA (Killerpass and Four Tomorrow before them) and their 3-week itinerary was the most ambitious of any of the bands yet. I spent so much time trying to help iron everything out for the tour that I forgot to post anything about it here! Thanks to all of my friends up and down the west coast who helped set up shows and take care of Gezan. You know who you are! Another big thanks to any PNP friends and phamily who went to the shows and rocked out with one of the weirder bands in punk.

The above video is of Gezan playing at my favorite spot for shows in SJ, Trash House. My good friends in Windbreaker, including former members of Bradbury (buy their 7″ from me, please!), played their first show opening for Gezan, so check them out below!

Music and PNP-related stuff has been on the backburner for me a little bit while readjusting to life in LA, but I’m grateful everyday to be part of the DIY punk community, and being able to introduce my American and Japanese damies to each other is always a treat.

PEACE!
Bob
