Saw Polysics two nights ago in St. Louis. I mentioned before that I would have to drive a while to get there since my college town is about 2 hours away (and it was snowing!). I brought a friend too and he wasn't really sure what to expect, lol. I had a decent idea after watching a bunch of youtube videos.
There were two opening bands. I think Hayashi and Fumi were sitting at their merch area beforehand selling the goods but I wasn't sure it was them cause I'm lame. I have a tendency to get star struck and not have anything to say, lol. The show started at 8:30 but I don't think I got there until 9:15 or something and Polysics went on until 10:30. Their lame manager said no flash photography, lest ye be kicked out in the cold.
Anyways, we both had an awesome time! Hayashi was crazy as ever, screaming and dancing and doing jumping jacks. He even shook his ass on some girls in front!! From what I could see, everybody was loving it and yelling. Kayo played herself perfectly. My friend being new to this band thought she was pissed cause he wasn't dancing, lol. I think the show finally ended around 11:30. They played an encore of two songs too. The last song was Electric Surfin' Go Go, which was so damn awesome. Danced my ass off.
So much energy!!!
Songs I remember them playing were Electric Surfin' Go Go, I My Me Mine, Beat Flash, Baby Bias, etc... sorry, I'm sure there were more good ones but I'm not familiar enough with them yet.
After the show was over, I bought their new US release Absolute Polysics and a poster. Only $11!
I really hope this won't be my last Polysics show. I won't forget this show for a long time and sad to see that a member is leaving this awesome lineup... Kayo <3
