Tokyoblu 6th Birthday @ Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh, 19 Sep

Article by Colin Chapman | 09 Sep 2008

Set to celebrate their 6th Birthday this month, Tokyoblu blurs the lines between club night, DJ duo and seven-piece band. Starting out in Club Ego's Cocteau Lounge, the night's acted as an outlet for the talents of DJs John and Iain Tokyoblu and the live band of the same name, featuring vocalists, keys, guitar, bass and decks. While John and Iain throw down an eclectic mixture of disco, house, gospel, Latin and African flavours, the Tokyoblu live experience has drawn comparisons with that of Groove Armada and Basement Jaxx, and since its beginnings on the capital’s underground club scene, has gone onto establish itself on both the festival circuit and internationally. The night now resides at Cabaret Voltaire and this special occasion is sure to attract the many friendly, up-for-it party people the club counts as its loyal following - especially because they are launching their single Groove Tonight on the same night.
