TOKYO PINSALOCKS are a psychedelicious three-girl groove-pop outfit who have toured the UK and US several times. In step with the Tokyo music scene, their latest album, ‘Kurukuru To Guruguru’, takes on a more electronic sound, and the trio’s fun live show pits bass and drum grooves against Naoko’s energetic vocals.

GALAPAGOSS is the brand-new project of Sharaku Kobayashi, from internationally successful chiptune unit Floppy. The new group’s name reflects Japan’s increasingly insular and unique nature, tapping the zeitgeist to inform their 8bit-soaked electronic sound. They perform as a full band, giving blisteringly aggressive live shows.

Techno-rock unit HONDALADY have history stretching back to 1996 but have performed as a two-man outift since 2002. Their 8th album, ‘Sneaker Mon Amour’, has been an underground hit in Japan, and the duo have also written music for videogames on Nintendo Wii, growing them a fanbase among gameheads in Europe and the US.
