Japanese Bands Coming to Canada?
-
That’s right! There is another bunch of Japanese bands heading over to Canada this fall. In just three months you will have an opportunity to see four of the best bands in Tokyo’s underground scene. 1st off there is the HearJapan favorite, sgt., a post rock band with elegant violins. Listen to their samples and check out a Live Report from last year. Next up is MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS. They are two girls and a drummer whose post rock/shoegaze sound have unleashed themselves on the scene just two years ago. Next up is the amazing hip hop duo known as uhnellys. Never heard of them? HearJapan has a free download of their song PIKA Mood. Last is the indies band susquatch, who’ve been around since 2003. You can hear their music on their MySpace Page.Three bands from HearJapan will be attending this tour. The dates aren’t all confirmed (MORE are coming), but here are the confirmed dates:
Oct 9 Toronto @ the Velvet Underground
Oct 12 Montreal @ Club Lambi
Oct 14 Vancouver @ the Biltmore CabaretThe same promoter who put on the show this past May already decided it was time for a round 2. For all the latest updates, check out Next Music From Tokyo. If you live in the United States and plan on waiting for these bands to tour the US. You better think twice because indies bands hardly ever get the chance to go abroad. So start planning for your vacation to Canada. You might remember that HearJapan offered a free download of all of the bands from the last tour. We will do a similar promotion this year. While you’re waiting, be sure to purchase some of the albums we offer from HearJapan. Keep on coming to HearJapan for more information!
