For many music fans, getting up early at multiday music outings is no easy task. But the few thousand folks who mustered the energy to get to the Red Marquee stage for the start of Fuji Rock 2013's final day were treated to one of that summer's festival highlights, Bo Ningen.
Playing at 10:20 a.m., the England-based, Japanese psychedelic quartet quickly awoke groggy attendees with a powerful performance of face-melting acid punk that was nothing short of awesome. Speaking to The Japan Times at Fuji Rock, Jehnny Beth from British post-punk critical darlings Savages said, "I just had Bo Ningen at breakfast, and that was the best breakfast I've ever had."
"Without a doubt, that was the biggest gig we've played in Japan," says Bo Ningen guitarist Yuki Tsujii. "It was magical. There's no other way to describe how much we enjoyed playing at Fuji Rock. It was a killer experience."
