So, was the show any good?

Last night's LA show was really good. I'd say probably a little better than the Newport Beach show.

Set list was mostly new songs with CMS songs and of course-She, her.

As I'm listening to the album right now, I can safely say that the songs they played here sound WAY better live. Not to say that they're bad, but that's just how things go. She, her-well all I'm gonna say is "Junko".

And I totally hate myself for not bringing my camera so you'll have to suffice with cell phone pictures.

As for merch, they had the new album which did come with the DVD, CMS, "I <3 AY" shirts as well as a sticker, CMS sticker and Kubrick toys which I did not pick up but they were pretty awesome.

Also if anyone cares, they weren't exactly using really big amps. For example, Yoko was using a combo Mesa Boogie amp that looked like it had maybe 12" speakers, while Ikuno was using an Aguilar? head with maybe a 20" cab. Yeah, small venue which makes me think the amps were owned by El Cid. I thought El Cid gave the band a good sound however.

I didn't really pay attention to the turn out. Like the Newport Beach show from last year, there were quite a few of those who came specifically to see noodles play, however, since there were two other bands after them, the crowd was a mix of noodles fans, fans/girlfriends of the other bands plus people who went there for a night out on the town.

Oh and Yoko remembered me. :3

pix of noodles kubrick toyz plz

I lack them. I was supposed to get one of the Kubricks from my friend who got two but I forgot to get it from her.

Also, I forgot to add that they had a "No Matter" shirt and my friend got the last one. She also got Ayumi's drumstick signed. JEALOUS.

i took one of the setlists too. gave it to tatsu though

good show. i had more fun hanging out with them even though i didn't speak japanese... i kind of laughed every time that she looked at me while i was in the audience... it was a little awkward, her wanting to jump my bones and all.
