Straight from Tokyo 3 Bands Come Down to Battle TRIP, Bo Ningen, Moja, Molice, Royalinserts, No Cars TichCuc Leading off with the U.K. born, but Osaka-based punk band, Royalinserts. Organizer of the T.B.J.E. tour, Kev, Gav, and Oshyo have been known to send unsuspecting audience members reeling in an audio state of shock.

They are followed by the alt/pop/punk rock band known as Molice. The veterans of the 2007 Summer Sonic festival have a reputation as one of the best live rock bands in the Tokyo rock club scene.

Closing out the night will be Moja, Japan's 2007 winner of the Global Battle of the Bands tournament. Coming off the successful Summer Sonic appearance in August. The drum/bass duo will certainly have a surprise or two waiting for fans

In addition, TBJE has recruited some U.K. talent as well. DJ TichCuc, DJ Super Mal, DJ Rehab, No Cars, Bo Ningen, Elohym, and Elmor will also make appearances on selected dates.

For thirty years the Tokyo String Quartet has been universally regarded as one of the supreme chamber ensembles of the world. Tokyo String Quartet Tokyo String Quartet

For thirty years the Tokyo String Quartet has been universally regarded as one of the supreme chamber ensembles of the world. Such stellar groups only retain their reputation through consistent periods of growth and reassessment, and its current configuration is widely considered to be the finest in its luminescent history.

The Quartet performs two classic programs on this tour, one pairing Haydn with Brahms, the other Beethoven with Mendelssohn. Each pair is contrasted with Carl Vine's fifth string quartet, commissioned for Musica Viva by its Patron, Kenneth Tribe AC.

Martin Beaver violin

Kikuei Ikeda violin

Kazuhide Isomura viola

Clive Greensmith cello

Superlatives like 'peerless' lose their potency by appearing too often in advertising material, but I can think of no better description of the Tokyo String Quartet. CARL
