It has been a few years since the alternative pop/rock band Taffy toured the United Kingdom—five years if memory serves—but at the end of July they are back for several performances.

The headline tour kicks off in Birmingham on the second-to-last day of July, this will be followed up with an appearance at Kendal Calling in the first weekend of August, after which the band will be performing in Nottingham, London, Brighton and Herefordshire before heading back to Japan.

Formed in 2011, Taffy received a lot of attention from the United Kingdom from the start. They are known for their fusion of shoegaze, alternative, Britpop, and 90s influences. After releasing several singles, the band’s first album was released in 2013, titled Lixiviate. Over the years, they have released several more albums and an EP, the latest release was the album DeepDarkCreepLove in 2019.

Between these releases, the band toured the United Kingdom and also performed across mainland Europe and the United States. Their connection with the United Kingdom remained strong, since they have been releasing their music via the British independent record label Club AC30 since they joined the label at the end of 2011. Taffy’s current line-up consists of Iris on vocals, Rio on guitar, Takeshi on bass guitar, and Ken on drums.

The painting shows Kikuo in a movement where he moves his arms, making it look that he has several arms. The avatar seems to be mysterious with a quiet but expressive look. This painting has been used for the Kikuo World Tour 2024 – 2025 “Kikuoland-Go-Round” promotion.
