Return of THA BLUE HERB

Since the postponement in September of last year, THA BLUE HERB return for the first time in 2 and a half years.
The last time THA BLUE HERB appeared in the main floor of Contact was back in December 29th, 2019. The audience was lost for words with enthusiasm by the words of ILL-BOSSTINO as we fully experienced the universe of THA BLUE HERB. The performance that took place in 2019 featured all 30 songs, over 150 minutes, from their self titled double album「THA BLUE HERB」. The following year in July they released their 5 track album「2020」.  Last year they played at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL in the rain, they celebrated their 24th anniversary with a “24hr live stream”, O.N.O released「Duskroom」in February, his first solo album in 8 years, and have clamped down the listeners with featured topics.
It goes without saying that the sense of tremendous psychedelia that comes from the minimalistic multi-layered sounds generated by O.N.O’s knowledge in electronic music, DJ DYE, and sequence of words, is the attraction of THA BLUE HERB’s live performances.  An Arcadia of sounds, words that overlap in meaning, and unexperienced science fiction. Contact’s sound system is fully prepared for the celebration of THA BLUE HERB’s return.  Adding to the lineup in the main floor are top class acts DJ QUIETSTORM and BAKU (KAIKOO), 90s Hip Hop party “CLASSICS” organizer K-BOOGIE, and a live performance by raudica a.k.a. CASHY who has built a modern Hip Hop scene in Tokyo to satisfy the desires of fanatical heads.
Contact/Foyer floors will be curated by OTOZURE, making this their 9th installment. OTOZURE began in March of 2018 fusing art and culture. Since then they have been stirring up this underground club. From KANDYTOWN we have MUD, EQ from 七曲八飛, singer Kick a Show, psychedelic folk band MOKU, and a live performance by THE EMPTY ORCHESTRA, who released their 1st single featuring BABYLON PANIC.  KEI from smokin’ barrels, the warped and imaginative sounds of suimin, avant-garde/alternative sounds of W.A.S.P, rapper/beat-maker BLABLA from PACK3, 絶超 unleashing high-dimensional waves with superfluidity and transcend space-time and physical abilities, and MonoGoi’s unique style of expression absorbed by various cultures adds to the lineup.
Foyer features glass artwork by KUMBH GLASS, one of a kind apparel Under the Bridge by MonoGoi, OTOZURE’s soul food by Hon’s Tacos, everyone’s favorite GINZAN COFFEE, and the new sponsor Wisdom Tool will be setting up shop.  Yet another interesting curation by the team who has praised the bugs and contingency of crossbreeding aimed for the core listeners.
On December 29th, 2019 at Contact, before performing their last song of the set, a song titled「今日無事」, these were following words said by ILL-BOSTINO; “There’s something certain here. A lot going on, but I’ve made it here. For that we should be grateful.” The return of THA BLUE HERB.
