The origin of the band, currently a trio consisting of Tsutomu Sonoda, Ryota Takano and Shoei Ikeda, can be found in a vintage shop called Ace General Store, where between chats, putting together the vinyl section and manning the cash register, the musicians also find time to jam sessions and record music in the studio that can also be found there.<\/p>\n<p>Behind Mong Tong are two brothers who, after having completed their studies, went on a quest to learn more about the obsession they share: Taiwanese occult-inspired art and vintage superstitious imagery and turning this into music. To make this music, they use psychedelic sound gamelan music, phin guitar, tabla drums, and Taiwan sisomi.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"maya ongaku - Melting (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c00QIAA3CaE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>Mong Tong en Maya Ongaku European Tour 2023<\/h3>\n<p>Sunday 5 November, 2023: Urban Spree &#8211; Berlin, Germany<br \/>\nWednesday 8 November, 2023: CCM Jean Gagant &#8211; Limoges, France<br \/>\nThursday 9 November, 2023: Blonde Venus &#8211; Bordeaux, France<br \/>\nSunday 12 November, 2023: Le Guess Who? &#8211; Utrecht, Netherlands<br \/>\nMonday 13 November, 2023: Shacklewell Arms &#8211; London, United Kingdom<br \/>\nTuesday 14 November, 2023: Crofters Rights &#8211; Bristol, United Kingdom<br \/>\nWednesday 15 November, 2023: White Hotel &#8211; Manchester, United Kingdom<br \/>\nFriday 17 November, 2023: Alien Puzzle &#8211; Munich, Germany<br \/>\nSaturday 18 November, 2023: TransCentury &#8211; Leipzig, Germany<br \/>\nTuesday 21 November, 2023: VoxHall at PART &#8211; Aarhus, Denmark<br \/>\nWednesday 22 November, 2023: MS Stubnitz &#8211; Hamburg, Germany<br \/>\nThursday 23 November, 2023: Kulture A &#8211; Liege, Belgium<br \/>\nFriday 24 November, 2023: De Nieuwe Anita &#8211; Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/p>\n<p>There is a possibility that additional shows may be announced in the near future.
