Thu 17 Nov 2011, 6 – 10 pm

The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam, in cooperation with the Embassy of Japan and Japanese restaurant “Kyy”, share the delight of introducing the variety of Japanese cuisine through lectures and demonstrations to Vietnamese fellow friends in Hanoi on Thursday 17 November 2011.
Japanese cuisine has been widely accepted throughout Vietnam, and a diverse range of people love to eat it. Such words as “Sushi”, “Sashimi” and “Tempura” are well known even among those who have never studied the Japanese language before.
But what is Sushi, what is Tempura indeed? Do you really understand the features of each food? Can you cook them?
If your answer is “No”, here is a good opportunity for you to change your answer into “Yes”.
From “Sushi” to “Tempura,” the Japanese specialists will give lectures on the history of each food, as well as demonstrations of cooking them, and finally, you will enjoy eating the foods with us.
We do hope your understanding on Japanese cuisine as a part of Japanese culture will be enhanced and deepened with the served delicious foods.
The lectures and demonstrations will be conducted in Japanese with Vietnamese interpretations from 6pm on Thursday 17 November, in Marlion room (2nd floor) at Fortuna Hotel (6B Lang Ha, Ba Dinh, Hanoi).

1) Lecture on “Food culture in Japan”

Supersize Saigon Music Night
The Lost Souls Club
Sat 12 Nov 2011, 8.30 pm
Hard Rock Cafe
Kumho Asiana Plaza, 39 Le Duan Street, District 1, HCMC
Telephone: +84-8-6291-7595 or +84-8-6291-7596
Contact: stephane@vtijs.com
Supersize Saigon returns once again to deliver the finest in up-and-coming international and local music talent, with The Lost Souls Club making their highly anticipated return to Saigon, with support coming from Vietnamese funk-rockers 6789 Band.
The Lost Souls Club will also perform at Hanoi Rock City on Sun.
Having previously headlined Supersize Saigon and the prestigious Tiger Translate festival to wide acclaim at the turn of the year, British alternative rock band, The Lost Souls Club, have amassed an impressive and dedicated fan base across Southeast Asia over the last nine months. Their impressive live performances at The Canadian Music Festival in Toronto and at Perth’s One Movement Festival have also put these boys firmly on the international music scene map.
Named the Best Alternative Act at this year’s Exposure Music Awards, the quartet bring a dark, atmospheric and reverb-laden rock sound to their live shows, with hints of The Dead Weather, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Jesus and the Mary Chain informing their M.O.
The highly respected Kerrang! magazine has described The Lost Souls’ live shows as ‘a visually stunning prospect’ and ‘a real force to be reckoned with’. And with further shows booked in Hanoi, Singapore and Australia (in support of their soon-to-be-released EP), there’s no better time to catch these hugely talented upstarts.
A rarity by local standards, the unique 6789 Band is part of a new breed of young Saigon bands redefining the scope of original Vietnamese guitar music. Having cultivated a devoted following thanks to their much talked-about and long-time weekly residency at Yoko and previous appearances at Supersize Saigon and the CAMA Music Festival in Hanoi, their groovy hybrid of rock, ska, reggae and funk should serve as an irresistible opening act.
Ticket price: 160 000 VND per person including a free Coors Light beer or cola
Night with DMN SLYR and Unconventional Science
Fri 11 Nov 2011, 9 pm
Hanoi Rock City, 27/52 To Ngoc Van, Tay Ho, Hanoi
The day of ‘all ones’ promises to be a first class affair at HRC, as a trio of exceptional, international beat makers take over Hanoi with a sharp wave of soul, funk, hip-hop, bass and live electronic beat music. Fresh out of Los Angeles and France, and with album releases from both Unconventional Science and DMN SLYR, this is about as cutting-edge as live beat music in the world gets.
As well as tearing the roof off with funked sounds and unique flavours, DMN SLYR will pull the city into crazed party mood with the launch and release of his new brand new album, ‘Lovers and Fears’, on the night, inviting Hanoi in on the frenzied celebrations.
Hanoi Rock City is also delighted to announce that 11.11.11 will set into motion a five week countdown until our 1st birthday. One of the biggest shindigs of the year, HRC 1 will take place on Saturday 17th December, with more delectable details to be leaked on this night, and over the coming weeks.
Unconventional Science (L.A, U.S.A)
Unconventional Science (Slum Gods, Token Recluse) is the ecstatic, chemical reaction that occurs when a seasoned crate digger comes into contact w/ samplers and synths. Rare groove, chopped drums, and a sprinkle of psychedelia make for a heady listen that keeps the toes tapping and the brain synapses firing. His DJ sets take you on an adventurous, yet cohesive journey through history, genre, style and flavour, all with a respect for the everlasting funk. Originally from Maryland, Nick eventually migrated to Boulder, CO, and now resides in the megalopolis that is Los Angeles. He can be found spinning his potent mixes at select event, getting his fingers dusty at local record shops, and doing live beats for thirsty ears. On 11.11.11, Unconventional Science will drop a live beat set along with some DJ action in promotion for his very recent new and third album release, ‘Open With Emotion’.
DMN SLYR, (L.A, U.S.A)
DMN SLYR: the genre-defying artist who began DJing and producing at the age of 16. Now at 29, DMN SLYR works as an accomplished music composer and seasoned stage performer.
Proven to move dance floors whilst satisfying the peculiar listener, a DMN SLYR gig moves seamlessly through selections of electronic, psy, soul, and jazz, entailing a memorable time for all. He has performed and been involved with artists such as Daedelus, Steve Aoki, Gaslamp Killer, OBEY, Fools Gold, J-Swift of the Pharcyde, Lil B, D-Styles, Yarah Bravo, Subtitle, SAMIYAM, SPEAK!, Afta1, Cha Cha, Nikko Gray and many more. DMN SLYR co-runs the IE Beat Cinema, a bi weekly club night that earned a worldwide reputation for showcasing international electronic ‘beat music’ artists.
Along with his audio capabilities, DMN SLYR is also a renowned visual artist. With over 100 exhibitions in numerous museums, galleries, universities, and cultural centres, he also holds street installations and murals in different parts of the world including Japan, New York, Shanghai, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Panama, Los Angeles and Beijing. His dynamic mural art can now also be experienced in Hanoi within the confines of HRC: a large scale portrait of a woman, who acts as a ‘mother figure’ of DMN SLYR’s ‘As One’ mural; a permanent mural installation on the streets of Saigon celebrating the unity and diversity of the Vietnamese people.
After spending an extensive year in Asia, DMN SLYR is on the brink of a return to the United States for a tour de force of exhibitions and performances, where he will bring his hotly anticipated, latest full length album, ‘Lovers and Fears’, back to his core fan base.
HRC is honoured to be handpicked by the artist as the venue of choice for the album launch party, on the auspicious date of the Eleventh, of the Eleventh, Two Thousand and Eleven.
Ticket price: 50 000 VND at door.
