Coming March, Tokyo-based cyberpunk band PSYDOLL will return to the United Kingdom for a tour. The tour is titled Spark Tour and consists of 8 shows, starting on 17 March in Aberdeen and the tour final in London on the 25th of March.
PSYDOLL are not unknown in the United Kingdom, they have been performing in this country since 2003, with many tours under their belt. The last time they toured in the United Kingdom was in 2019. They also have been performing at other European countries, such as the Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Germany, and Austria. The summer of 1997 saw the formation of PSYDOLL, currently consisting of guitarist Ucchi and vocalist Nekoi. Nekoi is active in the manga industry and the duo shares their love for Japanese animation and sci-fi films. This made the inspiration for their industrial sound from the beginning. The band started with performances a year later and started touring outside Japan from 2001. The duo presents themselves as the newest in Japanese robotics and claims to be made of iron, plastic and PVC.
In PSYDOLL’s long career, you can also expect many releases, including a most recent release in October last year, a collection of the duo’s previous releases that are not available anywhere and were never released on an album. These have been given a place on Modus Operandi Psydoll. A year before that, they released a mini-album of music that had been released in 1998 and just short of becoming lost media thanks to the duo’s diligent work of retrieving it from a very old hard disk. These songs were eventually given a new flavour to be more appropriate to PSYDOLL’s current sound.
