DIE (he officially no longer spells his name with periods in it) announced on his blog that Ra:IN will be playing at the hide memorial on the 3rd. That makes 11 bands for the first day. Geez, don't you think that is a little extreme? I guess the show does kick off at 2pm but according to Miki its scheduled to end at 8pm. Thats about 18 minutes a piece per each band if you count set up time in between each set.
Maybe this is secretly a grindcore-tribute-to-hide festival. Think about it, Spread Beaver could play hide's complete discography in ten minutes if they do grindcore versions of his songs. Okay, that would actually be really stupid. What I really hope is that this whole "ends at 8" crap is negotiable so each band can play at least 30-45 minutes.
In other news Gargoyle is playing at Akasaka Blitz on the 3rd. My response to this is "&^%&^*$^*%$&am,mp;" because I would love to see Gargoyle. Of course hide-fest wins and I give a big middle finger to Gargoyle for playing on the same day.
