Promoting New EP, Saturday Night Karaoke Holds Tour In Japan

JAKARTA - Saturday Night Karaoke, the punk rock band from Bandung is again holding a tour in Japan. This tour was carried out in order to promote the EP More Chords, Better Points.

"So, when we toured there in 2017 and 2019, everything always felt exciting and familiar. Japan always accepts us and our work as it is and is expressive," he added.

There are two things to be offered on this tour. Prabu said that their performances would also be filled with a varied line-up.

Not only that, the final stage of Saturday Night Karaoke on this tour will be held at an underground music festival in Tokyo, Matsuri.
