Japan Nite Showcase Set To Celebrate 20 Years At SXSW2015

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Japan Nite, an annual showcase bringing artists from all corners of Japan to Austin. It has been a SXSW fixture since 1996, and has featured big-name Japanese acts such as Go!Go!7188, The Pillows and Chatmonchy along with dozens of artists hailing from across many genres.

Following the 20th anniversary show @ SXSW Japan Nite will set out on a tour of the United States, featuring TsuShiMaMiRe, QUORUM and The fin. on every date of eight-city tour, starting in Chicago on March 22. Japanese rock outfits Zarigani$ and BO-PEEP will join for the first four dates, while Samurai Dynamites tag along for the first trio of shows. Wonky Saitama group mothercoat will offer support at the March 27 show in Denver. Check the Japan Nite site for more info.
