After Lilac and Typherus had played at J Summit, most of the Visual Kei/Jrock crowd that was there left and wandered over to the legendary punk and alternative street; St. Marks Place. It was just a few blocks away and since its been partially taken over by Japanese restaurants and stores it was as good [...]
