Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Essential cosmic fantasy psychedelia from this Tokyo trio of trancing organs, heavy basslines, clanging percussion and commanding vocals. Sounding like Gang Gang Dance do Japanese folk or like Far East Family Band reborn in the 21st century."

Heidi Contagious presents: Kuunatic
+ support from Yarmouth + Gloom Index
7.30pm doors
£12.50 adv
KUUNATIC is a thrilling Tokyo based tribal-psych trio bolstered by diverse global sonics and powerful female vocals. Drawing on the members’ different musical and cultural perspectives, their music explores ritual drumming, pulsing bass lines, atmospheric keyboard sounds and Japanese traditional instruments.
Having previously released an EP (“Kuurandia” / 2017) as well as a split 7” (with Taiwanese fuzz psych garage band Crocodelia), “Gate of Klüna” is KUUNATIC’s much awaited debut album. Produced by Tim DeWit (Gang Gang Dance) the record reveals a mesmerizing soundworld that transcends genres and hemispheres and succeeds in being both boldly experimental and wildly catchy.
KUUNATIC are Fumie Kikuchi on keys and vocals, Yuko Araki on drums and vocals and Shoko Yoshida on bass and vocals.
Exchange is a 14+ Venue. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
