Natccu will conclude her second UK tour with four more dates in York and London, including an exclusive acoustic set on the roof of Queen Elizabeth Hall!
Natccu's dark-edged pop defies easy explanation. It's multilayered, unpredictable and deep, yet instantly memorable. Her voice can be hysterical, filled with dramatic gulps of passion; then quiet, seductive or sweet. And while she is largely influenced by British and American music, this Tokyo artist carries an Eastern sensibility that makes her sound utterly unique.
CANCELLED 16 JULY - YORK, The Duchess

£7 in advance, £8 on the door; from 7.30pm, Natccu on stage 8.30pm

It Came From Japan is an agency running regular tours that bring super-cool Japanese bands to the UK.
In May 2009, our Japan showcase at The Great Escape moved to a more central location and brought Tokyo Pinsalocks, Natccu, Skunkrice and Remain On to the masses; the bands then went on to play at The Fly in London together before each going on their own tours and radio appearences. May 2008's Fuelled By Sushi tour featured Doping Panda, Vola & The Oriental Machine, Levelload, Bo-Peep and Dr Usui playing at The Great Escape and other UK dates, with several sold-out shows and even some radio sessions. October 2007 saw Boom Boom Satellites and Levelload play a free show at Manchester's prestigious In The City festival. May 2007's Monsters Of Pop tour saw Motocompo, Miami and Levelload play The Great Escape festival, Virgin Megastore and more. February 2007 brought the electronic tour, featuring Tokyo Pinsalocks, Bespa Kumamero and Sonic Dragolgo. The first was in May 2006, featuring three punk bands - Bo-Peep, Puppypet and Shinonome. We've also worked with Astro-B', Guitar Vader, Papaya Paranoia, Mika Bomb and more. Look out for the next tour in May!
