Fujiya & Miyagi at South Street Seaport

(Tons o' people!)

I got to the Seaport late and was suprised to see that there was already a huge crowd there by the time BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW'S set was underway. BMSR sounded pretty good, and has actually collaborated with The Octopus Project, who I'm really looking forward to seeing Sunday in Brooklyn. I didn't stay for the set since I was starving, and went into the mall to get some overpriced mall foodcout munchies.
Getting out in time for FUJIYA & MIYAGI to start their set, I just walked and stayed by the sidelines. F&M are not Japanese at all, but are from the UK, and play low-key, electro synth pop paired with hushed, nondescript vocals. Their live show is actually...kinda....MEH. Their music makes you want to chill out, but it doesn't quite work live....ESPECIALLY in an outdoor live show. I stayed for what must be about half their set and left, unimpressed. I think their album is better suited for listening on your Ipod or car.
