[excerpt from dinjo's written tour diary at http://dinj.net]

It's been said that Kill The Apprentice are the most dangerous band on the Coast, well I can't vouch for that without losing a sworn to secrecy limb, but as it goes for international gigs, this time round we were compelled to actually play some, without being targeted by State agenda's to repress the freedoms of its people. No Najib, we are not a Satanist band, but unified with the Bukit Bintang Pyrate Punx we raise our fists without abash and collectively sing 'Not My Government!'.. The Malaysian side of things were looking defiantly positive.

Oddly enough the craziness started with the Japan side of things less than a month before flying out, as our Aus-Japan tour booking mate fell through on securing any dates for the start of what was to be our unnamed Kill The Apprentice's Semi-Professional Pre-World-Domination Let's Not Get Locked Up This Time Get In The Sea Tour of SE Asia .. Almost surrendering to what might be a pure sushi & sake holiday without a chance to offer up our latest KTA servings of fast gritty punk rock, through friends of friends, the social media networking help in the land of the rising sun button was remotely pushed.

And with speed of samurai's in-box enters Romantic Nobita Records, a mostly melodic punk tour promoter based in Tokyo, well versed in Engrish and with a bunch of loyal promoters linked to his twatter, locking us into what would be four amazing shows for KTA's first immersion into the Japanese live house original music scene. We can't thank Waki and Yosuke from RNR enough from saving us from potentially spending all our badly converted Yen on Pachinko and underbelly S&M parlours (bottle of whiskey included) and sleeping in capsules.

So with fresh merchandise from Print'n'Wear with sharp artwork from Jamie 'Poon Goat' Peters @ Mammoth Design and a new tour release hot of the press we strode into the airport bar at 8am and started drinking until we heard our names called across the public address system.. 'members of KTA - board the plane or get in the fucking sea'.. we took to the air.
