Fujiya and Miyagi January 24, 2012 Wrong Bar Toronto





















UK outfit Fujiya and Miyagi brought their indie funk stik to the Wrong Bar Tuesday night for a mixed set of tracks taken from their 4 albums including my fav's Yo-Yo, Knickerbocker, and Uh. Been to the Wrong bar 5-6 times but didn't realize the sound system is specifically targeted for the back of the bar. For the first 5 songs I was thinking the sound was off. Not sure why they wouldn't have the sound system wired for the whole room. Unfortunately heard two of my fav tracks with the monotone sound. Half way through Tuco and I figured out the issue and got to enjoy a great concert which could have been epic only if we had figured it all out earlier. Note to Wrong Bar. Wire your whole bar for sound. Fuuny enough opener Volcano Playground sounded pretty good even with the poor sound. Would love to hear them with good sound.

Here's what they said:

Volcano Playground

@gillzfest: @VolcanoPlayground opening for @Fujiya&Miyagi @wrongbar sounds so good. Perfect opening to a fantastic show.
