FARM PARTY #6 this Friday April 22nd

This easter Friday (April 22nd), come down down to Gamuso for the 6th edition of Farm Party organised by Tokyo Gig Guide.
Guest performers will be N'toko, Akane Hosaka and ヤング・フラッテリィズ, plus Farm Party house band Abikyokan and DJs.


We are pleased to have Slovenian electro rapper N'toko take over the mic and sampler on the Gamuso stage.


Everyone enjoyed the blipping bleeping melodies of Akane Hosaka when she played at Farm Party #2 a year ago, so she is back for another explosion of electronica and puppet cuteness.


Causing a stir on the Tokyo avant-disco scene is ヤング・フラッテリィズ, two guys on synth and dance beats, and an odd frontman who is sure to make creative use of the Gamuso live space.


Abikyokan with its members from 4 continents will be bringing their new-wave avant-pop synth-rock sounds to start proceedings.

Guest DJs will be:
Shibuya-kei aficionado DJ 810 aka Patrick from Chipple, Tokyo's Coolest Sound and Tokyo Recohan.
Indie rocker Timutaku from Alternative Current.
Grant McGaheran and craig eee from Abikyokan.
Throughout the night, craig eee will be providing visual projections.
