Thursday night was a record breaker in every way, shape, and form. Whether it be the number of requests, an audience that spanned from Europe, North America, South America, and Asia, or that our servers were maxxed out starting 5 hours before the show even started (only the second time in WIXQ history this has happened to the best of TR's knowledge, the first being last Thursday's show), I think it's safe to say that the productions of the Iron Otaku Network are now your number 1 source for Japanese Rock in the entire United States.

Of course, the big draw of the night was Jason Heltin's interview with Toshiya and Die. In it, they discussed the Family Values Tour, the up coming new album, and "I'm a fucking rockstar, BITCH"! If You were unable to connect, the interview is available on the link at the post below this, and soon, uncensored on the Tainted Reality Myspace!
Other than that, for one night only, we threw the "One song, per band, per show" rule out of the window, and were sent a fucking shit load of requests for none other than the night's honored band.
We also breifly showcased 2 bands that will be playing Califonia's up coming J-Rock Connection J-Rock convention. These bands were the up and coming USA based J-Rock band Mars, and our good friends lo:lita. If you are interested in them, please check 'em out on their myspace links below.

Not much else to say. You guys made the night the amzing success that it was and we thank every single one of you for tuning in!
Extra special thanx also go out to Free Will America and Toshiya and Die.
