To celebrate the release of their album Flashback Stonehenge, psychedelic rock band Hibushibire will be going on a European tour in October. The tour consists of a large number of shows in the United Kingdom—where they also toured last year—and their first shows on the mainland of Europe.
Formed by vocalist and guitarist Changchang and former bassist 821 as an improv jam rock band in 2012, the Osaka-based band has released several albums, including Freak Out Orgasm! in 2017, Turn On, Tune In, Freak Out in 2019, and Magical Metamorphosis Third Eye in 2023 after a long break and change of band members.
Flashback Stonehenge is the band’s first studio album as a four-piece, since percussionist and conga player Kohei Katsuma officially joined Hibushibire. The band now consists of Changchang, bassist Tetsuji Toyoda, drummer Aoi Hama, and percussionist Kohei Katsuma on the conga. Like the previous three albums, this upcoming release will feature several short songs on one side, as it will be released on vinyl (and digitally via Bandcamp), and a long closing song on the other side. The band has released a promotional video for this long track. In total, Flashback Stonehenge consists of four tracks and will be released on 24 October.
Hibushibire’s music is heavily influenced by Acid Mothers Temple, 1960s hard rock, 1970s progressive rock and various psychedelic genres. The band’s name, Hibushibire, comes from an old Japanese slang term that roughly translates to “freak-out orgasm”.
