Hip Daikanyama club Unit celebrates its seventh anniversary with a post-punk dream bill. Influential UK band Wire’s angular phrasings and experimental approaches can be heard in the offerings of countless bands to emerge since the ‘80s. With a new album in the form of Red Barked Tree, Wire—in Japan for the first time in seven years—will be joined by Friction, one of Japan’s most-admired post-punk outfits. This all-nighter will also see sets by Japanese techno DJs Kenji Takami and Kentaro Iwaki.
