The Itchyworms have recently announced their three-city tour in Japan this October 2023!
The mini tour will kick off at the LIVE
HOUSE GATTACA in Kyoto on October 6, followed by two more stops in Osaka
(The Blarney Stone and Sengokudaitouryou) on October 7 and 8, respectively.
Prior to the announcement, The
Itchyworms performed at the Tokyo Beyond Festival on November 22, 2022. They
have also participated at the Kansai Music Conference in a virtual setting
while delivering an exclusive live performance at the Big Baby Studios in
Manila.
“There will be a lot of Filipino fans
who will travel two or three hours just to see us live, so we will still be
playing some hits,” the Di Na Muli hitmakers share in a collective
statement. ‘We will also be playing some other songs that we think will be appreciated
by the Japanese musicians and audiences. We feel that music is universal, and
whether we sing in Filipino or in English, the audience will love it.”
The acclaimed band, consisting of core
members Jazz Nicolas (lead vocals, drums, piano, keyboards, keyboards), Jugs
Jugueta (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), and Kelvin Yu (bass guitar, backing
vocals), will be joined by their new recruits Ciudad’s Mikey Amistoso (acoustic
guitar, keyboards, backing vocals, tambourine) and Weckl Mercado (lead guitar,
backing vocals) for this particular tour.
This year, The Itchyworms have released
two new singles: “Panic In My Mind,” which was specifically written for
their bandmate Chino Singson, who moved to Canada with his family to start a
new life, and the Beatles-inspired “The Morning After,” which features
some of their most intricate productions to date.
The Filipino alt-rock outfit has also
released 2013’s award-winning album, After All This Time on vinyl
last November 2022, and a repress of their 2021 album, Waiting For The
End To Start on the same format. Both records are available via Backspacer Records.
