LOKA ~ New J-Rock Band




LOKA is an Alternative Hard Rock band based out of Tokyo/Japan.
But they're music do not sound "Japanese", if you listen to they're music
you'll find the music back bone to be more American Hard Rock.
Also combined with raging synthesizer and digital drum beats, they're music
do not stop only at live houses but spread to the club music scene.

LOKA first makes they're appearance on June 9th 2012. At that time, only the
singer Kihiro and drummer KEN'ICHI were the official members, and bass, guitar
players were formed by support members.
On August 8th, LOKA releases they're first EP "01"-zero one- and kicks off
a nation tour from September.
While on the road they also release they're first Album on November 7th, "EnFLAME" and continues they're nation touring to the end of the year (approx. 40 shows), both immediately selling 1000 copies and still growing.

In 2013 April, they welcome Katsumi as an official bass player for LOKA.
LOKA is set to kick off another nation summer tour including and international tour
to play a summer festival in Taiwan, FORMOZ FESTIVAL.

Though it's only been a year since the band has formed, they're musicianship, profession, and performance is considered top class in the country.
