WACK IN THE UK vol. 2
Japan’s notorious WACK agency returns to the UK for another dose of unadulterated alternative pop music for Japan featuring three of its acts.
GANG PARADE - This chart-topping fun group from Japan consists of 13 members and has the concept みんなの遊び場, “playground for all”. Latest album OUR PARADE was released from Warner Music’s FUELED BY MENTAIKO and shot to #1 in the Oricon album chart. It includes anime theme ‘lol’ from ME & ROBOCO, as well as the energetic ‘SIGNAL’ and joyous ‘SUPER PARTY PEOPLE’ amongst others.
ASP - These anti-idol idol punks are exploding right now. Since making their overseas debut at WACK In The UK Vol. 1 in London last year, ASP have gone on to sell out their first outdoor headline show, produced a number one single with the help of Sam Matlock (WARGASM), and have booked their own show at the mighty Nippon Budokan arena later this year. Check out tracks TOXiC iNVASiON and I HATE U.
KiSS KiSS - This recently formed electronic group mark their first anniversary by performing in London for WACK In The UK Vol. 2! Expect high energy, bright colours and thumping basslines if their music video KiSS KiSS KiSS is anything to go by.
