The one and only alternative band, the hatch, which is about to release their new 2nd album.
Since moving their base to the outskirts of Tokyo from Sapporo, they’ll be hosting their very own party “Naked Orange” for the 1st time in over a year.
The unparalleled rock band, the hatch, has performed for parties at Contact on numerous occasions sublimating dance and psychedelic into beauty on the verge of self destruction, and this night can be said to be their final settlement at this venue.
In Studio X, along with host the hatch, Wool＆The Pants, the acclaimed cold funk band that released from the US-based prestigious obscure funk label〈PPU〉, and トリプルファイヤー (Triple Fire), known for their lyrics that are filled with humor with a sense of masochistic view of history backed by the sounds of 70s afro funk, will be making their first appearance.
The lineup for the DJ section includes Licaxxx, an active figure who never forgets the love for the culture, and suimin, who seamlessly mixes sounds that transcends the boundaries of genres, will provide a rhythm ensemble of mutation that vividly colors the landscape of sound.
Contact floor features 1-DRINK, who manipulates grooves in all directions while giving you a glimpse into his hip hop roots, mars89, whose release from〈UNDERCOVER RECORDS〉 like the hatch still remains fresh in our memories, the diversity of DJ mew that comes from experiencing bands to hip hop, the overwhelming physical grooves of ANiIIIIiiiKii, and DJs Hibibliss and himawari who has shared many nights with the hatch, who in recent years has been devoted to dance music, have lined up for this occasion.
In Foyer, 和田晋侍 (Shinji Wada), a prominent figure of abtract music and the drummer for DMBQ, and otaco, the owner of ”たこ焼き喫茶おたこさん” (Takoyaki Cafe Otako-san), are scheduled for a machine live set.
Figures heavily rooted in band sounds such as サモハンキンポー (Sammo Hung Kam-bo), founder of〈MAD LOVE Records〉and percussionist of 思い出野郎Aチーム (OYAT), whatman, the vocalist of the hardcore punk band odd eyes based in Kyoto, and midori, the frontman of the hatch, creates a world of psychedelia.
The lineup that doesn’t link together at first glance is what’s intended and perfectly fine.
To bring together and connect people that do not have things in common in order to spark a new flame is the musical belief of the hatch, and is the foundation of this party.
