In April 2024, Joseph Shabason and Nicholas Krgovich set off on a two-week tour of Japan, their first time performing in the country as Shabason & Krgovich. In an act of well-coordinated serendipity, Koji Saito of 7e.p. records enlisted Saya and Ueno of Tenniscoats, the revered Japanese duo, to tour with and perform backing band duties throughout their stops in Matsumoto, Nagoya, Kobe, Kyoto, and Tokyo.
The four could only rehearse twice, but it was all they needed. Shabason, Krgovich, Tenniscoats are releasing the album Wao, out August 29th via Western Vinyl. Following their unique yet stellar take on My Bloody Valentine’s “Lose My Breath,” they release the latest single, “Departed Bird.” Watch below the official video.
