Japanese Breakfast started their set with full of energy with "Everybody Wants to Love You", followed up by "In Heaven". It was shame that the crowd was pretty dead for this show because the band absolutely killed it. The transitions between songs was smooth, Michelle's banter was hilarious, and they just looked like they were having an awesome time. I took my cousins who heard Japanese Breakfast for the first time and they're fans now. Our favourite song was "Jane C*m". The drums were particularly amazing here and toward the end of the song Michelle just had this huge roar, they totally created this cool mood and it really turned over the set. They also played a couple new songs and so I guess all I can say is that I'm really looking forward to hearing what they will sound like on their next album (if they have one) - the new music is amazing! They didn't play an encore and though the group I was standing with badly wished they would (and we were totally yelling for them to), the crowd was really just so energetic. But! Michelle did hang out right at merch and talked to everyone passing by. I really wanted the black sweater from their bandcamp, but they were only selling the white shirts. Still I got it, asked Michelle to sign it while I totally fangirled, and she was totally cool and gracious.
Japanese Breakfast - come play in London again soon!!!
