Ticket Giveaway: Fujiya & Miyagi @ The 9:30 Club
This post was written by TNG founder Zack.
Fujiya & Miyagi learn that ideas can be dangerous. Deceptive little buggers Fujiya & Miyagi have a couple things wrong with their name. For one, they are a quartet. For two they are English, not Japanese. For three? Not one of their band members is an ampersand. I feel so used. What F & J are is skilled at slinky electronic grooves that often use of monotone and repetition to create songs that are far from boring. You may remember them from their stint opening for Peter, Bjorn and John at the 9:30 Club in April of 07 or for their single "Ankle Injuries" and its domino-rific video.
They are returning to the 9:30 Club on Thursday, Feb. 19. To win a free pair of tickets, simply answer the below question as creatively or depravedly as possible. To be eligible you must leave your answer as both a comment and an email to Zack@thenewgay.net:
Since Fujiya & Miyagi kinda sounds like a crime-fighting duo, what would you name your buddy detective show and what would distinguish you? Would you call yourselves "Anxiety and Depression" and throw Lexapro with lethal force? "She and Him" and sing your enemies into submission?
Contest closes on Wednesday at noon. In the meantime, check out a Fujiya & Miyagi mixtape below the fold.

Rinse & Repeat--not only catching the bad guys but ridding them of split ends in the process.
OK, my friend and I want these tickets and are willing to pair up our pets to be a (the cutest ever) crime-fighting duo. My dog and her cat. The cat's name is The Dude and my dog's name is Dizzy, so the name of the duo is the alliterative "Dizzy and The Dude". The Dude would ride in on Dizzy's back (some sort of saddle would be adorable) and they would tie up their foes in string, supplied by The Dude. Then Dizzy would pull on the string, rapidly unfurling it, spinning the bad guys round and round, and rendering the bad guys too dizzy to do their bad guy deeds. They would celebrate their triumph with white Russians and a night of bowling (of course) while we head over to 9:30 Club.
That's our ridiculous idea. Thanks!
And the winner is... John.
Because... Awwwwww. Did you read his entry? It's adorable!
Weak. Very weak.
