User:Bendroz/The Nobis

The Nobis is an "Electronic Dream Pop" band from Tokyo made from Emi and Masakazu. The Nobis sound is ethereal and dreamy tripping you on a nostalgic journey. Combination of soft ghostly child-like vocals with layer of new wave synth, and electric guitar melting into the love beats. They are currently on a "NO NUKE TOUR" or an evacuation trip of the environmental refugees starting from their home town to Okayama, then flying to New York, Washington DC, Baltimore of United States, then to Toronto, Winnipeg, and Montreal of Canada, and to London of United Kingdom. Currently on Europe tour from London to Amsterdam, and now in their 10th city Berlin.
