Check out Ethan’s site for all the daily updates from Japan, as well as all of their own Twitter feeds.

Here’s just a bit from Ethan’s blog:

The 3 shows we did for the Punkspring festival were sooooooo fun! Thanks to everyone who put the show on and made us feel so welcome! Last night we played the final show in Tokyo and it was insane!! I think there were about 9000 people there. It was so cool to see the Japanese kids singing along to all of our songs. We had such a good time meeting new people from other bands as well as spending time with our good friends in New Found Glory. After we played last night, a few of us stuck around the stage area to watch Face To Face and New Found Glory. They both killed it! It was so fun to see the Japanese crowd lose their minds over them! Thanks again, Punkspring, for having us. I hope we can come back! Now, we have a couple days off here. Time to explore!

After our show in Tokyo, all of us went out to an amazing restaurant called By The Sea. We had a, what seemed like 10, course meal there. The cooks there even brought out special stuff that was vegan friendly for my Wife and I! We all took pictures with the staff afterwards and they even took a polaroid of us to put on their wall.”
^Sounds like so much fun. Check out more news AND photos HERE

I haven’t found any recent videos from any of their shows at Punkspring festival, but if you find one, be sure to let us know!

Feels good to be back with the dudes.

Looked around and found some info on the Relient K show at University of N. Florida, which is in the town of Jacksonville. While there wasn’t anything on the University’s site yet, there is a Facebook event stating the host of the event is the Jaymes Reunion, with of course, Relient K. The show starts at 7:00 pm, and will go until 10:00.
