Out of nowhere, NEMOPHILA has just announced a new live concert date in the United States.  Los Angeles' storied Whisky A Go Go will now be the venue of their first American performance.

Previously, we had announced that NEMOPHILA would make their first US performance at Sacramento's Aftershock Festival in October.  That's now false.  July 1, 2022, will instead be their first (not to mention, their first international performance).  July 1 also happens to be the first day of Anime Expo.  I don't think this is a coincidence; much like Asian Kung Fu Generation timed their performances with Anime Expo a few years ago, so does NEMOPHILA.  I had hoped that there would be something else besides just the Aftershock performance and this is actually better than Aftershock.

If I wasn't already going to be in town for Anime Expo, I would make the trip.  It's rare to see groups of this caliber in America.  

They've also got a snazzy new English website over at https://nemophila.tokyo/en/

Tickets are on sale as of 10AM PST today at https://whiskyagogo.com/calendar/events/12076255/nemophila/.  They're an absolute bargain at $15, plus a nominal $3 fee per ticket.  Go to this show.  Period.  NEMOPHILA is a quality band and the price cannot be beaten.
