Praha Depart

Praha DepartOver five years ago, the founding members of Praha Depart lugged their gear all the way from Hokkaido to Tokyo, in search of the perfect combination of new wave and grunge rock. What they found was something a little more surprising.

Hooking up with their current drummer in 2006, their sound keeps all you would expect from a post-millennium Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, yet remains entirely listenable and loveable thanks to a good dose of latin-fused bounce and stumble.

Government Alpha + Yoshiyuki Ichiraku + Cal Lyall + Keigo Iwami

Government AlphaIn a first-time meeting, four performers from weird and wonderful musical locales battle it out in an ocean of slippery improvised sludge.

Ramshackling, nay, swashbuckling fun guaranteed.

Umibachi

UmibachiNew Wave pioneers from Tokyo guide us through brand new dance steps in a feast of riff-heavy psychedelic pop. Krautrock-influenced meditational groove from the city's urban core.

Tight, spaced-out and stunningly executed.

SHIT

SHITA new concept in post pretentremendrumics and a road map to post-tantric pataphysical brainsnack flavourings.

Featuring members of Ryusenkei Body, VEEDEEE, Jahiliyyah, OKHP and many more, a sizzling improvised space-out!
