Melt-Banana

On Sunday, November 9th, the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly presents Melt Banana at the WOW Hall. Last year, MELT-BANANA released their new album, ‘3 + 5.’ It is their eighth album. Like their previous works, it maintains the aggressive and violent pop sensibility along with a playful musicality, while also showing their eagerness to open new doors once again. This album presents a different side of them, yet when you listen to it, it still feels definitely like MELT-BANANA. They don’t seem to hold back at all. Instead, their willingness to keep pushing themselves is truly impressive. Both now and in the past, MELT-BANANA continues to take us to new dimensions. I can feel their desire to present something new, and I am genuinely happy to be able to listen to the album. This time, their US tour will last about a week and will only cover the West Coast. For them, who typically go on tours that last two to three months, this is a short tour. As the tour title ‘Sling Shot Tour 2025 (Area: US West Coast)’ suggests, it seems to be a targeted tour. Their upcoming tour includes a performance at Freakout Festival in Seattle, along with several additional dates along the West Coast — a rare chance to experience their live show across the region.
