Episode 009 - BABYMETAL Lives

Join us in a blast from the past as we talk about the things that happened before any of the events surrounding the release of Elevator Girl had taken place. Revel with us in our numerous wrong guesses! Between the previous episode and the recording of this one, a number of new shows were announced, including two festival shows (in California and in Taipei), and two headlining shows, one in London (puzzlingly scheduled between the June and July Japan shows), and a huge one in Los Angeles (at the Forum in October). We talk about that, and a little bit about the then-upcoming release of Elevator Girl, and speculate about how maybe they won’t even do a tour this year, or if so maybe it’ll be late in the year, after the Forum.
