Fourth Band Chosen for Next Music from Tokyo vol. 7

In January, Next Music from Tokyo tour founder Steven Tanaka revealed that he had selected three bands for the seventh installment of the tour and was looking to choose a fourth.

Now, Tanaka has announced that after careful consideration he has chosen young rock band PENs+ because he is impressed by how quickly their skills have developed and he feels that their complex, but catchy songs will balance out the line-up the best.

PENs+ will join no-wave/noise band otori, quirky indie rockers mothercoat and self-described "cynical pop band" Ame no Parade on the tour, which will travel across Canada sometime this summer.

Tanaka has also mentioned the possibility of a fifth band. Check out The Next Music from Tokyo's official blog for more information on PENs+ and to share your opinion about the potential fifth band.
