TsuShiMaMiRe, the all girl punkish alternative rock group will be going to Russia to be one of the headliner acts at Vladivostock’s V-ROX Festival! They’ve been around since ’99 without any lineup changes, they are known for being and extremely energetic live band and beside being well known in Japan’s underground circles, they also have a cult following in the US, where they had several tours in the past and they released their latest album, Abandon Human in 2015 (check out one of the a music videos from that one below). And the festival, which will take place between the 19th and 21st of August, is pretty interesting by the way. They also have a very international lineup, with mostly lesser known underground acts and even though this year they only have TsuShiMaMiRe from Japan, previous years they had a truly amazing and very diverse selection of Japanese acts, including Buffalo Daughter, Love Psychedelico, Broken Haze, Ego-Wrappin’, Emufucka, Moja, Daisuke Tanabe and Scarlet Diva (more about the festival here).

Also, TsuShiMaMiRe will be also going on a nation wide tour called Gaitare Mamire Tour 2016, starting mid-September, doing most of the dates together with Austria’s Kids N Cats, but also joined by some local bands: We Are the Asteroid, Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs, Mow Mow Lulu Gyaban, Ego Function Error and the wonderful Kinoco Hotel, that just came out with a new album recently.. more info about this tour can be found in their site’s Live section.

Update: Unfortunately the show was cancelled in the last minute, as band had visa problems.
