It Came From Japan presents:

MontBlanc debut UK tour

Identical Japanese twins bring live electronica meltdown!

In Japan, the best things come in twos. Formed in the womb but formalised in 2008, Japanese duo MontBlanc mix electronica with live instruments to create an eccentric style. Identical twin brothers Gen and Dai ooze an infectious fervour that has seen their party-starting live act spread across Tokyo, and the fresh vibe of their recordings belies their studio-based creation.
