We’re now just a couple of weeks away from the Frozen Yogurt Party and so far, you’ve heard about the frozen yogurt.  You’ve heard about the pop up shop.  You’ve heard about the video game tournaments and even the Giant Jenga.

What else is there to talk about right?

Wrong.  We’re proud to reveal that London hip-hop artist Jaunty will be performing live at the Frozen Yogurt Party!

Jaunty has been an early supporter of mayamada and can be seen sporting their Samurai Chef tee in a recent video.

You can also pick up his EP on the night.  All this is on top of  a live DJ at the event, who will be providing a great music all throughout the event.

Jaunty will be performing from 9pm so make sure you grab a seat or any space going in what is sure to be a packed Saturday evening at Tutti Frutti.

Mayamada Presents: Frozen Yogurt Party

Get ready for our first event of 2013, coming this spring.  We’re hosting a frozen yogurt party at Tutti Frutti, just off the Strand near Covent Garden.

This FREE, one day event is taking place on Saturday 13th of April 2013 from 3pm onwards and you’re invited!

There’ll be lots of frozen yogurt, games and our popup shop filled with t-shirts, snapback caps and the new Samurai Chef manga book for purchase!

Two hi-definition screens will be set up for video game play sessions plus two tournaments for prizes on the Xbox360 and new Wii U consoles.

Games will include Mario Kart, Beat the Beat, Fruit Ninja and Super Smash Bros.  If you fancy yourself at any of these make sure you enter on the day.

There’ll also be a low-tech approach to gaming with the return of the giant Jenga tournament that was a big hit at the last Tutti Frutti event in July 2012.

Cosplay Dodgeball Moved to 2013

Nigel October 9, 2012 No Comments

We have bad news on the dodgeball front.  Unfortunately we’re having to cancel the event in November and reschedule it for spring/summer of 2013.

We’re really disappointed to do this but we felt with all the projects we have at the moment we couldn’t put on an event as good as it should be.  The worst thing that could happen is for people to turn up and not enjoy it.

But it’s not all bad news and there’s still a lot to look forward for the rest of 2012..  We’re now focused on our third screening event in December and we’ll have the details on that by the end of the month.

We also have MCM Expo coming up and we’ll follow that up with our first appearance at Hyper Japan in November.

In addition to that there’s also the Samurai Chef manga book which is still in progress and scheduled to be out this year.

Once we have the updated news on the dodgeball we’ll be letting everyone know.  Until then, start practising…

Open Mic Night At The Ritzy

Nigel September 19, 2012 No Comments

Last week I was invited to the Ritzy open mic night to see a few new acts live.  I’ve got great respect for anyone able to perform in front of a crowd of any size and there were a line of very talented guys and girls over the night.

 

Also on showcasing was LP of StarlightPhonics performing two of his songs at the end of the night.

Keep an eye out for an upcoming collaboration with LP in the near future.
