POLYSICS (The Roxy, January 29, 2010)

Orange jumpsuits, straight-bar sunglasses, and kitsch filled The Roxy – on-stage and off – as hardcore fans of Japan’s self-styled “technicolor pogo punk” band POLYSICS came to say goodbye to founding member Kayo on Friday, January 29th.  Touring the U.S. for the last time, Kayo – with band mates Hiroyuki Hayashi, Fumi, and Masashi Yano – thrilled the faithful with an energetic set that was a whirl of pom-poms, suggestively-shaped balloons, and rapid-fire lyrics in Japanese, English, and gibberish.  Though Kayo will be “graduating” from the POLYSICS after March 14, fans can enjoy her last work with the group on their latest album Absolute POLYSICS.
