This subterranean club often has two shows: live music in the evening and a DJ-
hosted event after hours. Bookings include Japanese indie bands and overseas
artists making their Japan debut. In stylish Daikanyama, Unit isn't as grungy (or
as smoky) as other Tokyo live music houses.

Some of the world's greatest performers have graced the stage at Liquid Room,
from the Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth to Linton Kwesi Johnson. This is an excel-
lent place to see an old favourite or find a new one, but you'll have to buy tickets as
soon as they go on sale.
