As the sun began to set on this year¡¯s Summer Sonic, London-born singer Tom Misch took to the Beach Stage for his first live appearance in Tokyo.
Misch, who released his debut album ¡°Geography¡± in April, performs an upbeat mix of lo-fi funk and soul. It¡¯s minimalist, feel-good music that was well-received by the Tokyo crowd.
¡°Today¡¯s gig was a lot better than yesterday (in Osaka),¡± said the 23-year-old Misch after his performance. ¡°My usual drummer couldn¡¯t make the show at the last minute, which was a really big stress ¡®cause no one else really knew the set. Luckily the sound tech guy with our crew plays drums, so he filled in. It was a different vibe. Yesterday was the first time playing together.¡±
