Stand on Your Head NEW LOCATION: Cypher Morinomiya


As It is almost certain that there will be rain on Sunday 20th, STAND ON YOUR HEAD will be held at Cypher, a small and cozy organic cafe near Morinomiya Station.

20日(日)の天気はほぼ確実に雨が予想されるので、STAND ON YOUR HEADはサイファー(森ノ宮駅近くのオーガニックカフェ)で開催します。

サイファー (Cypher)
〒540-0003大阪府大阪市中央区森ノ宮中央1丁目9-20  06-6809-4631
540-0003 Osaka Chuo-ku Morinomiya 1-19-20

Although being held inside, I would like to keep the original concept of an ACOUSTIC and BATTERY-OPERATED event, since the cafe is quite small and there will be many performers. If time clears up, we might be able to get to play in the small park near the cafe.

屋内での開催となりますが、こじんまりとしたカフェに多くの出演者が集まるため、アコー スティックもしくはバッテリー(電池)電源の楽器使用のコ ンセプトは変更しませんので、ご協力お願いします。もし雨が止んだら、カフェ近くの小さな公園に移動して演奏するかもしれません。

PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR FRIENDS OF THE CHANGES IN LOCATION!
友達に場所の変更を知らせて下さい!

Looking forward to seeing you all! 
皆さんに会うのを楽しみにしています!
