Blair, of TurnItUpSideDown, informs us that FrogPilot will debut their new lineup — now including a second guitarist, Yushi — at the Smiling Buddha Bar (once again) in Toronto on August 5th at 8:00PM for a thrifty $5.

Nana Kitade, as seen in the previous post relating to some Otakon-related issues, will also be seen in Virgin Megastores in the cities of New York, Boston, and San Francisco. There she will be performing, meeting, signing autographs, and generally doing the things one does at a record store appearance.
