CHAI (JP) + MERMAIDENS (NZ)

How Was Your Day

<H2>CHAI (JP)</H2>
<P>When you think of all things Pink, a sound that fuses the likings of Basement Jaxx, the Gorillaz, CSS, and Tom Tom Club, with lyrics focused on “women empowerment” and re-defining the definition of “kawaii” or cute in Japanese, you think of CHAI.<BR>Formed in 2012, in the Nagoya region of Japan, identical twins Mana (voc/keys) and Kana (gt./cho.) would ask fellow high school classmate, Yuna (dr./cho.), and later Yuki (ba./cho.), a college acquaintance, to join what we now know as CHAI. Both independent releases, “Hottaraka Series” which translates to “irresponsible series”, was the title of CHAI’s 1 st EP released in December of 2016, soon followed by “Homegoro Series”, their 2 nd EP, released in April of the following year.<BR>CHAI scored their first US performance at SXSW 2017, followed by a series of performance dates in New York, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, a mini American tour titled “Japan Nite.”<BR>After coming across CHAI’s irresistibly unique music video for “Boys・Seco・Men”, featured on their 2 nd EP “Homegoro Series”, US indie label, Burger Records reached out and CHAI was immediately included in their 2017, Burger World: Japan Compilation cassette, marking CHAI’s first official US release.<BR>CHAI’s 1st album 「PINK」was released by Sony Music Entertainment (Japan), Inc. on October 25th, 2017.</P>
<H2>Mermaidens (NZ - Flying Nun Records)</H2>
<P>The earliest sketches of Wellington trio Mermaidens, follows the story arch of how most bands start; through long-term friendship and bonding over music that shaped their salad days. For Mermaidens, it was an eclectic melting pot of PJ Harvey, Warpaint and Fugazi to name a few.</P>
<P>Together, childhood friends Gussie Larkin (guitar/vocals), Lily West (bass/vocals) and Abe Hollingsworth (drums) form a powerful trinity of unwavering creativity and relentless work ethic. Their time together as Mermaidens has been a fruitful one; a timeline consisting of two critically acclaimed albums, being signed to iconic indie label Flying Nun Records, and a wide range of live supports that include Sleater Kinney, Death Cab for Cutie, Lorde, Mac DeMarco and The Veils.</P>
<P>Come 2019 and the trio are set to release a body of new work. The first split single 7” You Maintain the Stain/Cut It Open is out April 5th on Flying Nun Records. The band are in a new space. We are in darker, more confrontingly uncomfortable territory.<BR></P>
