Tokyo, Grenoble, New York City, Minneapolis, Austin, Tacoma, San Francisco

This power packed J-Pop princess drives her band hard, and they keep coming back for more! 

Starting out in Tokyo for a catch-up with family and a solo appearance with The Rubies at Tokyo's Route 14, Motoyawata, Miho Wada joined her counterparts The Shit Fight  (Le Gaze- Drums, madmat- Bass, Moisty- Guitar) in Grenoble, France for ten days of shows, rehearsal and recording (and a lil bit of laying about by Lac du Paladru and Lac de Lafrait, nestled into the top of one of the French Alps) with L'Armee des Zombies. 

NYC saw a warehouse party performance and preliminary shooting for a music video to "Call Girl." 

Minneapolis treated the band to a very hilarious podcast interview for "the Clubhouse" on Sianet Internet radio http://sianetradio.com/?cat=5  , a connection to a team to make the music video for Mihozilla, and an exceptional performance at Club Underground that may have paved the way for a return visit to the states next year! 

The trip to Austin was a follow-up to Miho's SXSW performance last March, onstage again at Headhunters, and netted an invitation to open for American hardcore band ALL.  Miho and band also took part in an unusually fully packed in-store performance at Trailer Space Records, Austin.

Tacoma cemented friendships with I Defy, one of the oldest punk bands in USA, as Miho and band took the opening slot onstage at Pugent Sound Pizza minus a very ill madmat and still knocked the socks off the audience!

San Francisco, the last stop on the tour, was organized so that Miho and band could perform for a live internet streaming and music video recording session run by BAMM http://www.bamm.tv/  which should make it into the archives there in about three weeks or so, but check them out in the meantime.

Now back in New Zealand Miho is putting the final touches to her forthcoming  live album "In Bed During the Riot" recorded by Army of Zombies in Grenoble, France.

She is also playing a couple of shows:
