The Japanese New Music Festival is a showcase tour in which the trio of Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), Kawabata Makoto (Acid Mothers Temple Official) and Atsushi Tsuyama (ex. Acid Mothers Temple) perform as multiple different units. The tour will return to Europe May 2017, with our three heroes performing as 8 separate groups. The groups mix and deconstruct all kinds of music from psychedelic rock, prog, jazz, classical to contemporary composition, experimental, and ethnic music. Their sound is unashamedly uncategorizable, with undercurrents of Frank Zappa and his belief that humour was an essential part of music. Each of the members brings a rich wealth of musical learning, knowledge and experience. The line-up for this year's tour will be: Ruins Alone, Acid Mothers Temple SWR, Akaten, Zoffy, Zubi Zuva X, Psyche Bugyo, Atsushi Tsuyama Solo, Makoto Kawabata Solo.

1. – RUINS ALONE (Yoshida Tatsuya solo)
Yoshida is one of the most innovative drummer/composer/improviser in Japan’s new music scene. pioneer of Drum & Bass duo RUINS was founded by Yoshida in ’85 . Tunes are complicated and mysterious, and songs are sung in the language of their own invention. It’s high-tension, wild, heavy, speedy, acute, and powerful tremendous ensemble never sounds like they are only two players. now RUINS had no bassist and currently he has been playing as RUINS ALONE. playing RUINS songs with sampling bass.

2. – TSUYAMA ATSUSHI solo
Tsuyama is best known for his monster bass in Acid Mothers Temple, but he also has amazing technique of guitar and vocal. his He has travelled around the world and accumulated the traditional styles of guitars/vocals in europe and asia. he adds his own interpretations and lyrical sense to create a beautiful but odd “fake traditional” musical world. recently he developed a new figure called “prog.rock > blues-ization plan”. he dismantle the masterpiece of progressive rock, and restructure it as an impromptu blues.

3. – KAWABATA MAKOTO solo
Kawabata Makoto is best known for his speed-demon noise-fuzz guitar in Acid Mothers Temple, but he is also widely active as an unparalleled drone guitarist. Drawing upon a huge reservoir of original techniques including metal glissando and bow-work that can summon up the sound of a string ensemble or orchestra, his work in this area cannot be simply categorized as minimal, drone or experimental. You’ll find it hard to believe that a single guitar can create sonic worlds of such meditative and elegant depth.

4. – ZOFFY (Tsuyama/Kawabata)
Formed in 1998. Zoffy’s music hints both at the members’ deep musical knowledge via their improvised performances of troubadour music and European trad, and also at their deep love for rock via their destructivist covers of classic rock songs, that no longer sounds like anything but ZOFFY. The group believes that humor is essential in music, and their unprecedented performances stray far from the beaten track. Is this the Ultima Thule that rock music has long been aiming for?

5. – AKATEN (Tsuyama/Yoshida)
Formed in 1995 with the motto of “irresponsibleness” and “perfunctoriness.” They easily free themselves from the spell of the traditional seriousness of the art. Using daily commodities like scissors, toothbrush, zipper, camera, and plastic bottle as percussions, and shouting their brand names over and over as the “songs,” the show is performed under the concept of low cost and maximum sound effect. AKATEN is the experimental convenience store punk band that provides the sound images of cheap and simple daily lives.

6. – ZUBI ZUVA X (Yoshida/Tsuyama/Kawabata)
Eccentric poly-rhythmic a cappella ensemble. It covers from Gregorian chant to ethnic music, to do-wop to hardcore screaming, heavily using irregular rhythms and polyrhythm. All sorts of ideas and aberrant musicality overturn the image of a cappella. their totally meaningless lyrics and desperate performances throw the audiences into the abyss of the laughter and admiration. it makes the concept of “singing ability”nonsense.

7. – PSYCHE BUGYO (Tsuyama/Yoshida/Kawabata)
Atsushi Tsuyama’s blend of two of his favourite things: Japanese samurai and ninja costume dramas, and British rock (mid 60s to mid 70s). The lyrics deal with themes from these dramas with typical Tsuyama humour, while the music is hardcore, authentic British rock tropes from the golden age – an ultimate, ultra-personal rock fusion of east and west! Special line-up for this tour including Tatsuya Yoshida on drums and Makoto Kawabata on bass.

8. – ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE SWR (Kawabata/Tsuyama/Yoshida)
Acid Mothers Temple have rapidly become acclaimed as the greatest, most extreme trip psychedelic group in the world. Releases have appeared on labels around the world at an amazing pace, and the magnificence of their live performances is already being whispered of as legendary. SWR is the AMT Family’s most powerful battle-formation yet. featuring Tsuyama and Kawabata from the original AMT and Yoshida from Ruins. their crushingly acute freakout sound will pulverize the world’s legions of wannabe psych groups.

Ein spannender Konzertabend aktueller Musik: MANISH PINGLE aus Indien spielt eine Musik die eher der Sitar zugeordnet wird in großer Perfektion auf einer Slide Gitarre. Frank Garcia's Solo Projekt SHEIK ANORAK ist innovative französiche Popmusik mit guitar- & electronic sounds. Frank Garcia steht auch hinter dem faszinierenden Label gafferrecords in Lyon. Die schwedische Band BERGET schliesst den Konzertabend mit einem melancholisch-sinfonischen Programm.

MANISH PINGLE: Born in the family of music lovers, Manish was introduced to Indian classical music by his mother. After a few years of learning basics of classical vocal , he started his initial training in Indian slide guitar from Late Shri Vishnu Waliwadekar. Manish is currently under the tutelage of USTAD SHAHID PARVEZ, the famous sitar maestro of Itawa gharana.

BERGET: is ambient, slow pop with noisy twist and grungy turns. Light and dark, heavy but dreamy. Furthermore, Berget is a a constant search for new stones to look under and to play with. A dedicated pursuit of love and confirmation, that more often leads to highs of a totally different kind. Berget is also the swedish word for (the) mountain. And, as any mountain, Berget wants more. Always. Wants to grow bigger, reach new heights and find the most beautiful views. It´s worth the crash. Every time.

CIRCLE: "Their extraordinary amalgamation of kraut-, psychedelic, math- and hardrock influences will blow your mind, you should make sure to catch one of the seven-piece's equally explosive and hypnotic concerts. Sweden's leading daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter called them "the world's best band - all categories", reviewing their much-celebrated 2011 appearance at Roskilde Festival. To guarantee maximum diversity, Circle can be also booked as their evil stoner rock alter ego of the same line-up, Pharaoh Overlord or as their latest incarnation, Falcon, which presents the Finns's take on schlocky 70es rock."

"Finland’s cult band # 1, Circle, is blasting the New Wave of Finnish Heavy Metal (NWOFHM) on European club and festival stages again!"

We're proud they'll hit the MS Stubnitz-Stage (after 2003 in Rostock and 2007 in Amsterdam) again!

"Kabobo is a powerful duo with drums and synthesizers and saturated electric piano creating a sort of hectic synthesized experimental-noise-rock with distorted vocals and epic looped spirals of choirs. Going on their 3rd tour, this time venturing Europe."

In their own words: We’re both Italians /aɪtæljən/ but we’re writing this in English because we like to put ourselves in difficult situations. We invested A LOT of time, effort, pulled muscles, burned clutches.. not to mention money. Yes, bling bling. We recorded these songs in two different industrial units with leaking asbestos roofs, can you spot the difference? We strategically blended our tracks on a heavy analog desk in an abandoned office space we weren't supposed to use, turned down some freelance job opportunities and regretted being in 2098 where you will be able to clone yourself by simply owing a Tesco club card.
But hold on a sec, all our money actually went into caffeine, replacing dropped-by-accident speakers drivers and under-rated 110V converters. Even if fuses weren’t our concern, after all this an' a’ that, we sent our tracks to the mastering knowitall people, some fine-tuning and we gave them to the guys who cut the round thing inside.

Luigi tapped his spidery fingers on synthesizers like the Pro One, cool! The bass sound is a secret whispered through the output of a Microkorgo - Italian for ‘Microkorg’ - it then goes inside some secret guitar pedals, and who knows what it does in there. Diodes? We like to prompt people to dance to our music and find out it’s awkward to. ALSO an electric piano Wurlitzer A200 is the heavy star, heavy y’know? We put everything through loud amps because it pleases our ears. David, the drummerista, plays lots of ghost notes you can’t hear in this recording. We adore piezo mic’s, we have three of them on drums, cymbals and butane cylinders. We both use our mouths as synthesisers and we pretend we’re not afraid of it.
There fear's to nothing but it, fear self. \sorry

We decided to call this first release ‘Bulo!' because we thought the record was bulo - in Perugian dialect 'bulo' means 'REALLY COOL', 'ALMOST GOOD’ - hence, our craving for biscotti after practice.

As a band we are inspired by various music, from noise rock to progressive to industrial, David doesn’t agree. You can imagine two poor Italians in a very cold rehearsing room in the south-east of Glasgow trying to play riffs as fast as they can to stay as warm as possible, breathing asbestos falling from a roof built in the 1981 when Scotland was mainly Unionist trying to kill Catholics or something like that.

We truly hope you are going to enjoy this record, it took a while for us to conceive, perform and record it but we think that the result is pretty bulo and so are you.

Basically Kabobo are:
Luigi Pasquini - Synths and vocals on amps - S.C. Pro One, Microkorg, Wurlitzer A200, Shure-Uknown-Model Microphone
David Scorteccia - Drums, howling and piezo operator
