As a public service announcement, I feel the pressing need to let everyone know that Japan’s amazing, post-DEVO, pop-splosion hyper-band Polysics are making their way to Vancouver at the Plaza (881 Granville) on January 26th. This is the best live music news I’ve heard in the past year. Fucking amazing. Here’s the video that initially introduced me to them and blew my mind:

And in case you ever thought, “Yeah, Polysics are cool, but they really should have covered Styx and had a robot rampage across Japan fighting children,” well, they did that too.

(Tickets at Zulu, Scratch, Noise, Red Cat, Highlife and at the door.)
