AGYNESS ROCKS


So it takes a while to get into the swing of things in Tokyo and to get over your jet lag, so it was nice to see a familiar face... and when we say familiar, we guess she is familiar to most of the Western world and has even graced the cover of Time magazine, as did Derek Zoolander you might recall. 

Agyness was playing records at Le Baron where Wade is doing a month long residency. It was around 5 years ago that Wade and Agyness did a Will Young video together (see still below), they had to play table football and pretend to be his friend for 500 quid for the afternoon, result. Wade was in his modeling prime at the time, but Agyness was pretty new to the game. During the shoot Wade ended up doing magic mushrooms, and I guess looking at both of their career trajectories since then, we are glad that Agyness didn't pick up any of his bad habits. 

She played back to back with Jackson from NYC, who was a resident at Misshapes and also seems to know every single person we do, he even lived across the street from Spiky in Brooklyn. They played a really good mixture of stuff like Elastica, The Moldy Peaches, Talking Heads & The Supremes and the crowd went mental, we have never seen so many picture being taken during a DJ set before, but then again, this is Japan. 

Wade had a dream a few weeks ago that Agyness amputated his leg. He should of probably kept that to himself, but she seemed quite bemused.
