Artist: Kishi Bashi

Le lancement de l’album de Kishi Bashi en Europe a donc débuté cette semaine, et c’est à Paris que l’artiste entamait sa tournée.
Débarquement modeste au Nouveau Casino ce mardi 6 mai, devant une salle bien confinée mais néanmoins enthousiaste devant l’énergie déployée par l’artiste hors pair. Un spectacle qui méritait réellement le détour, et qui – on l’espère – se verra par la suite faire remuer des foules de plus en plus larges. Près d’une heure de spectacle, d’arrangements en tous genres, de mélange des styles, de rebondissements, de mélodies affutées et de blagues. [...]

Willamette University's annual music/arts/earth festival Wulapalooza takes place in Salem this Saturday, April 27 , on the campus's Brown Field—don't worry, it's not as brown as it sounds—and this year looks to be an especially good one. For the past 15 years, the daylong fest has hosted a really solid bill of music, and this year they've got: Menomena, Kishi Bashi, Painted Palms, AgesandAges, Sun Angle, and Rags and Ribbons, along with student bands from the university. The day gets started at 10 am with crafts and famiy activities, and music on the mainstage begins around 4 [...]

Off the Avenue , presented by  Consequence of Sound , is a performance-based video series shot live at North Avenue Studios in Orange City, FL. In our latest episode, former of Montreal member and Asian Andrew Bird with ADD Kishi Bashi drops in to perform "Atticus, in the Desert" from his  151a debut, plus a cover of U22s "Give Yourself Away". With just one man, his violin, and a floor full of looping peddles, it's the one of the most technically interesting OTAs yet, and you can check it out below. You can find recent [...]

Not another Year End List 2012 is officially in the books, and Three Colours has compiled its very favorites of the year. In our opinion, here's the best music of 2012. You may be surprised to see a year-end list released this late into the year, but after all the life-changing events that have occurred over the year, I'm just happy to finally get this out there. 2012 was a crazy great year! Top 13 LPs of 2012 [...]

Qu'il est long cet hiver, et qu'il est froid ce vent de printemps qui peine à entrouvrir les nuages pour laisser place à la saison neuve. Mais ne vous inquiétez pas, il est bien là le renouveau, ce vent de printemps qui dépoussièrera vos piles de disques engourdies. Lassés de réchauffer vos cœurs en écoutant Animal Collective de façon frénétique et addictive ? Sachez que le soleil se lève à l'Ouest, et que c'est de la même direction qu'arrive une très bonne nouvelle pour vos oreilles de hipsters.  Kishi Bashi , violoniste américain virtuose [...]

Last year's Orchard-IODA merger brought a veritable treasure trove of great new music into our system. We've had the very pleasurable opportunity to do a fair bit of exploration over the last 13 months and thought we might share a cross section of highlights. The following playlist includes household names to ...

photo by Renata Steiner ( view set ) As Kaoru Ishibashi himself admits, a year ago no one knew who he was. Now, with his musical project Kishi Bashi , he's selling out shows with his intricate and ecstatic performances. Inspired by as much by free jazz as bluegrass, hip-hop, and classical music, Kishi Bashi's baroque indie pop easily draws comparisons to other loop pedal maestros like Andrew Bird and Joseph Arthur, and can sound like The Shins on acid. In fact, during his live session during our CMJ broadcast last year, Kishi [...]

Kishi Bashi performed their “best Costa Mesa show ever” Sunday night at a packed Detroit Bar.

Photos by Brittany Kalaj Margulieux "I wrote this song when I was a kid. In 1987. I grew up in Ireland, did you know that? It's not on my wiki." With this, Kishi Bashi dove into his interpretation of U22s "With or Without You." Kishi Bashi was tongue-in-cheek all night at the Troubadour, but his music was serious and intense. He looped and layered the crowd into a total frenzy. Friends Elizabeth Ziman (Elizabeth and the Catapult) and Mike Savino (Tall Tall Trees), another loop pedal master, accompanied him on stage. Savino as Tall Tall [...]

The self-directed video for “I Am the Antichrist To You” has become a quick favorite for  Kishi Bashi fans. Working in tandem with friend and animator Anthony Scott (former Pixar employee who’s work on “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Coraline,” ParaNorman” and more), the clip featuring a puppy looking for a world he once knew. Kishi Bashi, whose real name is Kaoru Ishibashi and goes by “K,” may look familiar to of Montreal fans when he joined the band on tour in 2010, but no one has gained as much acclaim for being a one-man-orchestra since Andrew Bird in the [...]

Kishi Bashi : looping violinist, multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire played to a sold out crowd at Holocene on Sunday night, and commanded the cool evening crowd with his intricate compositions and pop-laced tracks.

KISHI BASHI, TALL TALL TREES ( Holocene , 1001 SE Morrison) Although he sounds like a fluttering army of angels, Kishi Bashi is merely one man with a violin. His magnificent 151a was one of the best albums of 2012, and he's able to transform those gorgeous symphonies into one of the best one-man live shows in the world. This show has already sold way out, so find that one friend of yours who always has extra tickets. NED LANNAMANN NIGHT BEDS, [...]

I have one wish. I wish that K is that one artist I write about that gets big - like really big . I want to sit down, throw on the interwebz one day, and watch a live stream of him in a stadium full of people and be like "yeah... saw that coming". It's so important to me that you hear the music for yourself, I'm not even going to grace you with a description. I believe in good music, and this is why I write about it. Kishi Bashi is [...]
