Hey guys. I found a pretty nice, small and cozy jam bar in Meguro where they have ready to use instruments (guitar/piano/drums/etc). Anyone can grab an instrument and start playing. All levels/music genres are welcome.

I plan on going either this friday or saturday evening, if anyone is interested in joining hit me up ! 🎼

@echo hatch How are you feeling ? For anyone interested, I'm meeting up at a friend in Meguro tonight at 7pm. We'll have dinner then we will straight to the bar somewhere around 8pm 🙂

echo hatch

I’m interested if this is still happening. If not, I can suggest a jazz bar I’ll go to and possibly get up to play.

wicked moss
#

It's still happening ! I'm meeting up with a friend at meguro station 7pm, we're grabbing some food then heading there !

merry wyvern
#

Cool, what’s the name of the place?

wicked moss
#

are you also joining for dinner ?

merry wyvern
#

I’ll be having dinner here first

#

Looks cool. I’ll confirm once I know I can make that time

merry wyvern
#

Looks like I can make it by 7:30. Does that work?

wicked moss
#

The place is still closed for some reason. I plan to call them again at 9pm to see if they’re open

#

I’ll keep you updated

echo hatch
wicked moss
#

@merry wyvern it’s open and we’re here if you wanna join

merry wyvern
#

Nah I’ve missed it tonight. Have to be mindful that the trains stop at midnight

wicked moss
#

@echo hatch I’ll be going back next week saturday, they’re hosting some event so it’s gonna be fun

#

Feel free to join

#

Same thing for @merry wyvern

echo hatch
#

Do they have an accordion? And do you have to be good? Bc I am not

merry wyvern
#

Nice

#

I’m part of a jazz school back home and this club gets talked about

#

Oh this isn’t the main Tokyo thread..

wicked moss
#

Guys, I’m so sorry but I completely forgot that I had plans that night 🥲 I’m so sad

#

I might be able to join a bit later around 10pm, since it’s just dinner plan I have

#

I’ll keep you updated on this, but I’ll try to do both since I’d really like to go to the event

wicked moss
#

@echo hatch Event start at 7pm30 and I’ll arrive before 10pm. Luckily my dinner is 1 station away

echo hatch
#

Ok cool! I'll keep you posted... Trying to figure out what my brother is trying to do

tawdry prawn
#

Are there any jams in Feb? I’d love to come playy

wicked moss
#

Not sure about any specific events, but I’ll certainly go back to this bar in February. You can go there any time, grab an instrument and play 🙂

tawdry prawn
#

I mainly play violin/fiddle so i doubt they’d have one but hopping on keys shouldn’t be too bad

wicked moss
#

They have a violin 😉

tawdry prawn
wicked moss
#

Cannot guarantee that it is properly tuned and in good shape tho haha

#

But the other instruments are un suprisingly good condition so should be fine

echo hatch
#

not going make it tonight unfortunately... my brother wants to go to another neighborhood

wicked moss
wicked moss
#

echo hatch
wicked moss
#

starts at 7pm, worst case you can just join later 🙂

tawdry prawn
#

Are we doing just jazz?

wicked moss
#

Any genre is welcome. I’m personally more on simple harmonies, so nothing too mind twisting 😅

#

Last time we also did a prog/math-rock jam lol

#

Btw if you have any requests I can try to learn them on the piano/guitar before hand

echo hatch
#

I was in the area last night so I popped in quickly... This place is so amazing!!!! So I'm hoping I'll make it back on Saturday. Fyi they're doing a Beatles jam on the 21st around 8... I'd like to try to make that too

wicked moss
#

On the drums

echo hatch
#

I'm so embarrassed

#

Well you now know how bad I am at the drums

#

I don't do social media.... Does a story mean it's gone now?

wicked moss
#

yep, it was a 5-10 sec story so people could barely see you

#
  • the playing was not that bad 😄
