Metro-Ongen
Metro-Ongen were formed in Tokyo in 2002. Combining lullaby melodies and lush harmonies with a new-wave sound that has been compared to Blondie and Television, Metro-Ongen have steady gained a devoted fanbase across Japan. One show at Osaka’s Minami Wheel Festival (the Japanese answer to SXSW) was so over-crowded fans had to be turned away, and they also played at Summer Sonic.
