As promised..... NO CARS LIVE AT CAFE OTO Yay! Yay. Nice! This is great to watch. No Cars sound really together, have they been practicing, and is that allowed? "You're at this event, you're not rice-ists, so — do whatever." Accents. Haruna's rockabilly Betty bangs are cute. Did TOMOKO's new motherhood make Takaco start teasing her? The bassist has started doing snot-nosed 5 year old impressions. "Ringo" is temporarily my favorite No Cars number even if the dub bass never fully materializes. David Bowie didn't get much time off. Lol the roundeye treatment with fingers in the corners. Looking seriously Chinese on his new plane of existence

Ringo is also my favourite NC song of the moment - until I push it out of the airlock. a round-eyed david bowie at ura matsuriNO CARS were great, but they were only the headlining act. There were also other artists playing that night. Here's a bit of sing-along shamisen to be going on with...

Haruna reveals the inspiration for "Banana" on Twitter, where she's posting anything she can think of to get the activity level up off the floor.
She said No Cars' final show of 2016 starts Sunday after 10pm.
That's awfully late on a school night, but it extends your shopping time. Will the forum have representation in Stoke Newington?

...No Cars' final show of 2016 starts Sunday after 10pm. That's awfully late on a school night, but it extends your shopping time. Will the forum have representation in Stoke Newington? True, it is rather late at night for NO CARS to start playing, but I guess as they seem to be the headliners, its acceptable. I guess. There's also lots of other acts to make the experience a full evening of entertainment and there will even be live physics too! As if seeing NO CARS isn't more than enough fun for anyone. uploading picturesAs for the question about the forum being represented at this event - Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without NO CARS. There is a bunk in a very cheap hostel that has got my name on it and a pillow that is eagerly awaiting the Glor's post-gig dribbling and drooling. So I'm hoping not to disappoint. Fingers crossed.

Here's a quick taster of NO CARS doing Line Check at the wonderfully named Depresstival which was held at The Others in Stoke Newington, London.
I'm still pondering over the rest of the vid, so please be patient.

At first I'd also worried that Takaco had let herself go. Perhaps she was having problems with squeezing into her cute Japanese girl outfit. But we've been assured that she will be back to her normal self at some stage.

The vid I shot of the last NO CARS gig of 2016 has escaped into the outside world...
This was a test upload of camera and synched audio. I have been playing with it since, but there's this.

It makes sense that they'd enjoy themselves more than usual at a downer holiday event. Tomoko got cuter, yay, and the new material is nice!

Merry Christmas message from Haruna
Published on Dec 21, 2016
Unlisted video, it's for No Cars family. Haruna doesn't really enjoy doing these, but she wants to be nice, so she's making the effort! MERI–KURISUMASU!

Good news / bad newshttp://instagr.am/p/BS-_xlkA1l6 At least they're committing unrecorded material before the indefinite pause. I suppose they'll mention on Sunday if it's a quit or an indefinite pause, but indefinite and infinite can be hard to tell apart. The age of that parquet floor is indefinite. The funkiness of their recording studio is practically infinite.

I suppose they'll mention on Sunday if it's a quit or an indefinite pause, but indefinite and infinite can be hard to tell apart. With breaks like this, it is very difficult to know quite what will happen. Selfishly I want Haruna to come back quickly and for the band to be gigging again soon. But I also don't want her to be able to come back quickly. I'm torn. Haruna going back to Japan is the reason for the break. She's not going back on a whim, and it is nothing to do with band stuff - apart from her needing to take a break for a while. Haruna's rather flippant, throwaway comment at the end of their set at The Tomboys gig lets us know what's going on in her life... Now that she's mentioned it, I can expand slightly on Haruna's comment, her dad is seriously ill and is on his way out, so Haruna is going back to spend time with him and the rest of her family. Family comes first, but what happens next and when is subject to change. We also find out that Takaco wants to get married. Haruna also told us that Takaco's got a birthday coming up and she'll be th... then got a kick from Takaco to shut her up.

Haruna was mocking her pretty hard there. Half the band is family-minded, and that takes some of the steam out of the band, leaving Haruna with what? This is tough. It's easy to tell when Lady H is upset, because she gets bitter first and then kinda mean. She's a fighter. She probably loved ripping off bandaids when she was a kid. Message from Haruna...2017 APR 10 by NO CARS CHANNEL (01:06) We will perform on 23rd April, which will be our last gig before a long break... Please come to see our final show!!! Haruna, takaco, Tomoko and Candy xxx Meanwhile, there's always... www.facebook.com/nocarsmusic/photos/a.250581264972607.67620...
