In a former art-house cinema with the tell-tale tiered floor (but not the seats) still intact, this is one of those rare venues where you could turn up just about any night and hear something good. The line-up (of mostly local acts) varies from indie pop to hip-hop to electronica. Upstairs is WWW X, a bigger space. Tickets typically start at ¥3000 (more for international acts).
