British Japanophiles Fujiya & Miyagi rocked the Middle East (the venue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that is, not the region of the world) this past weekend with their New Yorker pals Dirty on Purpose.

The Brighton trio played five songs from their upcoming record, which they're now calling Light Bulb (apparently it's undergone some grammatical changes since we first reported on it almost a year ago). The band also announced that it will have expanded to a quartet for the new LP (still no word on a release date), having added a drummer ("Lee") to their studio-- and, eventually, live-- lineup.
