Toe Flyers (plus Nine Days Wonder, Up and Coming)

Haha... I just remembered that I never saw toe while I was in Japan. But, I do have some flyers. 

I think I might've gone to this show. Toe cancelled, I know that, but I might've gone to the show anyways. I remember seeing Up and Coming at some point, so this might've been it. Hmmm....

Lostage - Demo [2003]

This was a totally luck grab. I think I got it at Allman in 2003. Lostage plays some totally smooth emo rock that makes me feel the same way No Knife makes me feel. Angular and melodic. I thought this was an EP, but Lostage's site says it was their demo. Well. It's a fucking amazing demo here, that doesn't sound like a demo.

Anyways, Lostage is doing very well these days, headlining big gigs and doing it large like only a medium-sized Indie band in Japan can.

Here's a video from their Toy's Factory debut (I didn't even know they released something on Toy's Factory until now) in 2009. Now that I'm listening to this, I'm thinking they sound more like Bush than No Knife. In a really good way.
