KAO=S will hold a live show in Minami-Aoyama at MANDALA on Jan 26. Ambercaju, a band based on Okinawan music will also perform at this show.
KAO=S was founded in Tokyo in April 2011. Out of the turmoil that followed the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, the band distilled a new style of Japanese art to bring to the world, which it termed "chaos" or, following the Japanese pronunciation, KAO=S (Kah-oss). KAO=S’ sound is a blend of vocals and acoustic guitar, overlaid with traditional Japanese instruments such as the three-string Tsugaru shamisen, using a full range of effects.
Complemented by Kaori’s spellbindingly powerful sword dance, KAO=S quickly caught people’s attention. In 2012, KAO=S was invited to perform at SXSW2012, and the band embarked on a nationwide U.S. tour. In 2013, KAO=S performed at SXSW again. They next appeared at JAPAN EXPO 2013 in France. KAO=S performed on the main stage and received a great response from the audience thanks to the unique sound of their raw instruments.
In 2014, KAO=S signed a contract with German record label ammpmusic to release a single in July, and KAO=S performed a live show at the Tokyo International Music Market in October. They were greatly received by the many overseas buyers who attended the event.
