[Jun 16] TORONTO: Maki Nomiya

First achieving fame in the 1990s as a lead singer with the retro-chic band Pizzicato Five, Maki Nomiya has since become an icon of contemporary Japanese culture. Acclaimed for her solo albums Miss Maki Nomiya Sings, Lady Miss Warp, Dress Code, and Party People, she is also a model, a fashion designer, and the author of several books.

Also performing are the cross-cultural foursome the The Moist Towelettes: two Canadian men and two Japanese women whose diverse backgrounds and shared sense of fun combine in their own brand of irresistibly catchy pop – the kind of unabashed get-up-and-dance music that’s perfect for a hot summer night in Yonge-Dundas Square.
