The Itchyworms have revealed their October 2023 three-city tour of Japan!
The mini tour will begin on October 6 at the LIVE HOUSE GATTACA in Kyoto and make two further stops on October 7 and 8 in Osaka (The Blarney Stone and Sengokudaitouryou).
The Itchyworms played at the Tokyo Beyond Festival on November 22, 2022, before the announcement. They also gave a special live performance at the Big Baby Studios in Manila while taking part in the Kansai Music Conference virtually.
“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 award-winning 2013 album After All This Time, as well as a repress of their 2021 album Waiting For The End To Start, were both made available on vinyl by the Filipino alt-rock group last November 2022. Backspacer Records is the place to buy both albums.
