Kishi Bashi Announces Headlining Tour + Dates With Passion Pit

After spending much of 2012 globetrotting with Of Montreal as both a member and an opener, Kishi Bashi is gearing up for his first headlining tour. Tall Trees open and also play as his backing band along the route. Before setting out, Kishi Bashi will spend several nights opening for Passion Pit on their July tour.

Kishi Bashi has been wowing audiences with his violin-based, one-man live show where he uses looping to re-create complex avant-pop songs from his bright and soaring debut LP, 151a (out now via Joyful Noise). When he was last in San Francisco he taped a few songs live at Golden Gate Park with film/music project Echolocale, who just released the video today.




The first 500 copies of the vinyl are hand-numbered, pressed on clear/white (side by side) split color vinyl. Records can only be purchased from the Joyful Noise online store, and from the band on tour.

Stream 151a via Soundcloud .
