Tune in to CJLO on Sundays this May as our two resident Japanese music enthusiasts share with you their favorite artists, songs, and moments from the Land of the Rising Sun's vibrant indie music scene, as the annual Next Music from Tokyo concert series gets underway for its eighth edition this spring!
Established and managed by Steve Tanaka since 2010, this completely DIY tour invites Canadians to discover a unique Japanese music experience like no other. Steve explores and scavenges Tokyo's live houses, concert halls, and bars to find the best undiscovered indie talent, curates the best acts, and invites them to perform to eager and curious Canadians.
Hosted by the Solomon Schechter Academy Children’s Foundation, the S.S.A. parents and alumni Big Bears team will face off against the Montreal Canadiens Alumni featuring Guy Lafleur, Chris Nilan and Stéphane Richer to name a few.
Tune in live on CJLO 1690 AM or online at cjlo.com
Fresh after his EP release last October, FWONTEis back and ready to showcase "No Wanga" live on May 20th at Groove Nation, located at 410 Rachel East in Montreal.
