A word from the photographer
Generally, Japanese audience are thought to be reserved, however, I’m sure this night would be different. The day, 3rd of November 2019, was a special day for the Tokyo’s punk rock scene. Three legendary punk bands , Frenzal Rhomb , No Fun At All & Black Flag came to Tokyo and they knocked us out completely with their crazy performances.
Opening the ‘Special 3 Man Show’
Australian punk band Frenzal Rhomb kicked off the show. They were formed in Sydney in 1992 and their music is often referred to as skate punk and melodic hardcore. Their latest album is ‘Hi-Vis High Tea’, which was released in May 2017 as their 9th studio album.
Guest performer
The frontman and singer Jason Whalley is the only founding member of the band. On this night he seemed to have a problem with his throat. So, another dreadlocked cool guy took the vocals mainly. He spoke Japanese very well and even translated Jason’s English into Japanese with a western Japanese accent. I heard that his name is Will de Monchaux, a former bass player of Osaka based hardcore band PALM.
Crowd surfing
Although he was a substitute frontman, Will satisfied the audience with his raw energy and playful performance. Sometimes, Both Jason and Will dived in and sang on the crowd. It was really fun to see that two tall singers with dreadlocks were interacting with the excited crowd. And, I could also see, lots of crowd surfers, moshing and circles breaking out around the floor.
Band members
Jason ‘Jay’ Whalley – Vocals / Lindsay ‘The Doctor’ McDougall – Guitar / Gordon ‘Gordy’ Forman – Drums / Michael ‘Dal’ Dallinger – Bass
Will de Monchaux – Guest vocals (ex bass player of PALM)

The addictive punk concerts
I was totally amazed at how chaotic and addictive the punk concerts are. If you’re not into punk / hardcore music, you might think it’s too simple. As I said, the live show is totally different from listening it in your room. You have to see their show if you get a chance. You will never regret. I guarantee!
