Matsumoto Zoku Band just kicked off a new summer tour in Europe and it will be an extensive one, scheduled for the months June, July and August, which started last week in Switzerland and it continues tomorrow in Italy with more than 10 shows. After Italy, they will continue the tour in Germany, Hungary, France and The Netherlands.

Originally started as a duo in 2013, this band has since transformed into a quartet in 2022, consisting of Reo Matsumoto (handpan, beatbox and percussion), Koji Matsumoto (handpan, didgeridoo), guitarist Kenta Hayashi and bassist Nory. The Matsumoto Zoku Band can be best described as an organic instrumental quartet that performs dance music with a psychedelic slant, moving between musical genres such as dance, psytrance, hip-hop, rock, funk and ambient.

Since their formation, they have been performing all over the world, including seven performances at the Hungarian O.Z.O.R.A. Festival, making them resident artists. Individually, the band members all have a lot of experience as musicians in other music projects, which they put back into the music of the Matsumoto Zoku Band, precisely inspiring people with the various approaches and instruments they bring with them. To date, the band has released several albums while still active as a duo, including Matsumoto Zoku and Matsumoto Zoku II and an EP titled Ho-High.

At the moment, not all shows of their European tour have been confirmed, so it is advised to keep an eye on the social media of Matsumoto Zoku Band or the individual musicians for updates.
