Barbican Estate

Barbican Estate is a three-piece band formed in 2019 by Kazuki Toneri (Gt, Sitar), Miri (Ba, Vo) and Koh Hamada (Dr, Percussion).

All members having a strong interest for different sort of arts, their musical world is based not only on movements such as psychedelic rock, experimental or noise music, but also greatly influenced by diverse historical artistic contexts like Allen Ginsberg's Beat Generation literature, Romantic writers such as William Blake, Greek mythology or oriental philosophy.

Often performing at venues around Tokyo, they were also selected to support the Japanese tour of the Melbourne-based post-punk band No Sister in November 2019.

In March 2020, they dropped their 1st EP "Rhyming Slang", which was released on cassette tape as a limited edition and sold at record stores around Japan.The same month, they sold out their first event "TIDE" at the venue MANDALA in Tokyo.

Coupled with a bleak, gloomy universe, their music interweaves elements of solidity and destruction, leading them to be described as "dark psychedelic".
