If you thought last weekend's Thao & Mirah show at Ryoudenji Temple was unorthodox, how does an all-night indie gig in a former Showa-era cabaret sound? Packaaan!!! lets a gaggle of bands and DJs loose in Shinjuku's Furin Kaikan, one of the last surviving relics of Kabukicho's golden age. The action kicks off at 10pm and keeps going until dawn, with sets from groups including post-punk aficionados Limited Express (has gone?) and Miila and the Geeks, plus DJ Yogurt and others. See below for the complete lineup.
