Currently on tour in the UK with Shonen Knife, the band will take a day out of their busy schedule to play their first and only headline set in the country, taking place at The Pipeline, with help from 3 support bands on 3 May 2016.

Joining them will be Tokyo straight edge 8-bit rappers Hibari 雲雀, returning to the UK for the second time, as well as Barnsley Grunge-Pysch trio BRUJA, and London-based quartet The Johns.

Emi Morimoto (ex-Shonen Knife), comments about Otoboke Beaver: “When I first watched their show, I couldn’t help moving my body and was in the front row of the crowd at the live house in OSAKA. Their cute looks and crazy performance won my heart. People in the UK will certainly become their captive!!”

About Tom Smith
Some say he's fuelled on nothing but energy drinks, and that when he visits Japan, he spends the whole time engaging the ground in an all too familiar way. But what we do know is that his words on the country's entertainment and culture find their way into NEO Magazine on a monthly basis, while everything else finds its way here. Be it quirky news item from the Land of the Rising Sun, or a story so gruesome it'd be rude not to pass it on, you'll find it here along with his general posts about life, work and most importantly play. And yes, he has had articles printed in the likes of MCV, GamesMaster, 360 Gamer and more, thanks for noticing.
