Japanense post-rockers toe will launch their second-ever U.S. headlining tour this summer. Tickets for the shows will go on sale this Friday, April 3 at 10am PST. See ticketing links below.
toe are well renowned back home in Japan and have amassed a huge online fan base around the world.
Composed of Kashikura Takashi on drums, Mino Takaaki on guitar, Yamane Satoshi on bass guitar, and Yamazaki Hirokazu on guitar. toe has formally played with this line-up since the band’s inception in 2000.
The vast majority of their music is instrumental and features the swift and acute drumming of Takashi. The band is also known for its melodic, clean guitar settings. Additionally, the compositions have repetition from typical rock motifs, but use very subtle changes in beat and rhythm to form a unique sound. The band has changed their sound over their musical tenure by incorporating acoustic guitars, rhodes piano, and vibraphones in their most recent releases.
toe tours regularly in Japan, and can most notably be compared to acts such as Pele and The Album Leaf.
