Musik aus Tokyo vol 18Musik aus Tokyo vol 18

Next Music from Tokyo (NMFT) is an annual tour that introduces Canadians to the most creative and skilled bands from Japans indie/underground music scene. The tour began in 2010 and has brought more than sixty Japanese bands to Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver including: Kinoko Teikoku, ZAZEN BOYS, mouse on the keys, Akai Koen, Hitsuji Bungaku, group_inou, MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS and even Elephant Gym (from Taiwan). NMFT 18 will bring four bands including the return of ハク。(Haku.), an all-female band crafting emotive indie pop with surprising skill and power. With 700,000 fans worldwide, they were the main reason NMFT17 sold out so quickly. https://youtu.be/kDdTf2EinCshttps://youtu.be/Dx8wLRK5e50 Although Haku. is the clear headliner, the other three bands are each capable of stealing the show and convincing fans they are the true stars of the line-up. SYAYOS is an experimental pop band from Nagano whose music drifts seamlessly between folk, soul and punk. Imagine Sheryl Crow meets DAngelo meets Fugazi. Despite an average age of just 21, their songwriting is strikingly nuanced and mature. Theyre a fantastic live act with performances that far surpass their album/studio recordings. Rumor is theyve already signed to a major label.https://youtu.be/aVkL9N2rXr4https://youtu.be/Er7MBaUdzu0揺れるは幽霊 (Yureru wa Yūrei) translates to What quivers is a ghost. Hailing from Okayama, this four-piece crafts a melancholic blend of intense shoegaze and post-rock, channeling a sound reminiscent of NMFT favorites Kinoko Teikoku.https://youtu.be/LVSOM-Yd1Yshttps://youtu.be/BevBa3-iWAQ pudelhunds is German for poodle hounds. Based in Fukuoka, this young trio of elite musicians delivers emo/math rock with beautifully clean instrumentation and vocals. Then they blindside you with bursts of face-melting chaos and tasteful screamo to reveal an inner pitbull. https://youtu.be/CPg7FH51Otshttps://youtu.be/C-dcUh9-2hY This event is 19 and over.
