Japanese Breakfast

Japanese Breakfast started their set with full of energy with "Everybody Wants to Love You", followed up by "In Heaven". It was shame that the crowd was pretty dead for this show because the band absolutely killed it. The transitions between songs was smooth, Michelle's banter was hilarious, and they just looked like they were having an awesome time. I took my cousins who heard Japanese Breakfast for the first time and they're fans now. Our favourite song was "Jane C*m". The drums were particularly amazing here and toward the end of the song Michelle just had this huge roar, they totally created this cool mood and it really turned over the set. They also played a couple new songs and so I guess all I can say is that I'm really looking forward to hearing what they will sound like on their next album (if they have one) - the new music is amazing! They didn't play an encore and though the group I was standing with badly wished they would (and we were totally yelling for them to), the crowd was really just so energetic. But! Michelle did hang out right at merch and talked to everyone passing by. I really wanted the black sweater from their bandcamp, but they were only selling the white shirts. Still I got it, asked Michelle to sign it while I totally fangirled, and she was totally cool and gracious.

Japanese Breakfast - come play in London again soon!!!

The concert started with 'Planetary Ambiance'.

Japanese Breakfast took the stage in a small show space and kicked out a stretched 'Diving Woman'. The mood was set for a beautiful performance filled with heart and soul that ended with 'Everybody Wants To Love You' and 'Machinist', an energized Michelle Zauner jumping around the stage and at the end standing on the bass drum, bent over backwards, holding herself up hand stretched out on the ceiling belting out the lyrics.

The band travelled 15 hours from Berlin to Paris and delivered. A show to remember.

What a great night! The band were on top form, and Michelle put in an energetic performance. Japanese audiences are often a bit quiet between songs, but everyone was in a lively mood. After the show, Michelle and the band came to the merch table to chat with fans and sign stuff. For me, this was the best gig of the year.

Japanese Breakfast were spectacular! Wonderful energy and they sound just as good live as they do in the studio. For the last song, the singer even climbed down from the stage and entered the audience. The whole show was very well structured and they were awesome to watch. 10/10, will see again.

Terrific energy throughout the show. Music was awesome. Came mostly for Micelle’s vocals, but was somewhat disappointed with the venue’s sound mixing. The few glimmers of brilliant vocals that I did experience will keep me interested in her sure to be meteoric success in her career.

They were fantastic. They had some technical difficulties but they dealt with it very well. It was the start of their first headliner tour.

Thank you so much for playing 12 Steps and Triple 7. These are two of my favorite and it was amazing to hear them both.

Their debut album 'Psychopomp' was my 2016 album of the year. Now seeing them live twice, it's clear they are a talent to watch. The songs on their upcoming album sound fantastic. This band is a must see and a must hear.

What a dream! Perfect Thursday night with this band. I had only heard of a few of their songs but I was very pleased to experience them live. They have a great stage presence and can engage the crowd. 10/10

As always, Japanese Breakfast (with the especially badass and punk-rock Mannequin Pussy and Spirit of the Beehive) was perfect! See all of these bands perform whenever you have the chance. 10/10

So great! Cranberries cover was on point.
I wish this website valued brevity and didn't enforce a minimum word count on show reviews. I really really really really really really really do.
