Melt Banana announce UK tour
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 20 August 2019
Japanese band Melt Banana have announced UK tour dates for this October, airing new material being tried out for their next album, as well as plenty of old classics.
“We don’t care much about so-called genre definitions”, says vocalist Yako Onuki in a new interview with Kerrang, while refusing to be pinned down on how their sound is developing.
“Maybe because we don’t write music according to genre”, she goes on. “Some people say ‘rock’, some people say ‘pop’, some people say ‘punk, noise, metal’, etc. ‘Loud music’ fits for music like ours, but we also have some tender songs. It’s difficult”.
Here are all the dates:
16 Oct: London, Dingwalls
18 Oct: Edinburgh, The Caves
19 Oct: Glasgow, Stereo
20 Oct: Newcastle, The Cluny
21 Oct: Manchester, Gorilla
23 Oct: Leeds, Brudenell Social Club
24 Oct: Exeter, Cavern
25 Oct: Bristol, Exchange
27 Oct: Oxford, Wheatsheaf
28 Oct: Birmingham, Hare & Hounds
29 Oct: Nottingham, Bodega
30 Oct: Huddersfield, The Parish
31 Oct: Cambridge, The Portland Arms
1 Nov: Brighton, The Haunt
2 Nov: Ramsgate, Music Hall
