Sayuu (左右) and Umez in Kyushu - May 2nd-May 10th

Call And Response is in Kyushu for some action this Golden Week, including two short tours by bands from the Tokyo and Yokohama area and a rich roster of the finest bands Kyushu has to offer. Of particular note, joining Sayuu for two dates are Hakuchi (白痴) from Saga, who are currently preparing a debut album to be released from Call And Response in June. Meanwhile, Neue Sanssouci (ノイエサンスーシ), who dazzled and confused Tokyo audiences at the last Call And Response event in Tokyo, are hosting the final show of the tour with Umez on May 10th.

N'toko / Jebiotto! / Kaki - Kyushu tour July 20th-22nd 2012

Call And Response are on tour in Kyushu this weekend, with three dates featuring N'toko including one with Kaki and two with Jebiotto!, as well as a couple with Ian DJing. The Fukuoka date also features isLAICHELS, the new band of Shuichi Inoue of Folk Enough, RIM, a tribute band to Call And Response legends Mir, old friends Fake Girl Nott, electronic noiseniks Deltas, and discopop duo Amorphous. A whole lot of new faces will join us in Kitakyushu, including Hynouma, who seem fascinating in a messed-up Amon Duul II art-psych sort of way, while Cultos from Kumamoto, a new band featuring a couple of old pals I'm excited to see, will join us for the final date.

Any Kyushu people around at this time, come and check out our shit, man.
