Kushikatsu Records Promoting Japanese music in the UK. https://linktr.ee/kushikatsu_records Welcome to Kushikatsu Records - Music from Japan to the World!

We want to expose and promote our favourite Japanese bands to curious music fans and the growing community of converts. We want to give everyone the opportunity to buy this great music at affordable prices. Label boss Alan Farmer set up Bearos Records in 1998 to promote new acts from the West Midlands (UK). With over 70 releases, we arranged numerous showcases for Rough Trade (London) and BBC Radi

o. Bearos acts also recorded radio sessions for John Peel and Jon Kennedy (XFM). Alan is still passionate about music and is a regular visitor to Japan, squeezing in as many gigs and networking opportunities as possible and expanding his extensive CD and vinyl collection! We are not after profit; your purchases will fund future releases, media promotion and even help Japanese bands to personally bring their music on tour to the UK and Europe – that’s the really exciting bit!

Don't miss the Birmingham debut of Mass of the Fermenting Dregs at Hare & Hounds Kings Heath on 6th October. Gigs of this size usually sell half their tickets in the last fortnight but as we've already sold 80% there are going to be a lot of disappointed people - don't be one of them!

The Japaneses rockers can lull you into submission with their ingenious alt-melodies or pin you to the floor with their 'Bjork fronting Melvins' attack. After a brief hiatus they are back and set to conquer the world with two more studio albums, a riotous set at Arctangent festival in 2022 and a 2024 sell out UK tour.

In 2010, they released the classic 'Zero Comma Iro Toridori No Sekai' (Zero Comma, Colorful World) which punched its way into the Japanese rock scene earning them instant legendary status and comparisons to Number Girl, Smashing Pumpkins and The Gossip.

Thrilled to announce that Japanese artist Ayu Okakita will be joining 秘部痺れ -Hibushibire and Djabbic 3 at The Victoria, Birmingham city centre on Friday 17th October.

The Osaka based musician creates dreamy psychedelic trips with guitar, electronics and voice bringing to mind artists as diverse as The Sundays, Portishead and Ichiko Aoba.

A songwriter from an early age, she has been signed to a Japanese major, toured the world as part of UK based trip-hop trio Nedry and graced the stage of both Sonar and Roskilde Festivals. Her most recent album 'Grow Grow' from 2023 is a meditative reflection of all these journeys through music.

Hibushibire (Psychedelic rock from Japan) + Ayu Okakita + Djabbic 3
£12 adv/£15 on the door
2 for 1 advance tickets (skiddle) for under 25s
