Live reviews

Japanese Breakfast started their set with full of energy with "Everybody Wants to Love You", followed up by "In Heaven". It was shame that the crowd was pretty dead for this show because the band absolutely killed it. The transitions between songs was smooth, Michelle's banter was hilarious, and they just looked like they were having an awesome time. I took my cousins who heard Japanese Breakfast for the first time and they're fans now. Our favourite song was "Jane C*m". The drums were particularly amazing here and toward the end of the song Michelle just had this huge roar, they totally created this cool mood and it really turned over the set. They also played a couple new songs and so I guess all I can say is that I'm really looking forward to hearing what they will sound like on their next album (if they have one) - the new music is amazing! They didn't play an encore and though the group I was standing with badly wished they would (and we were totally yelling for them to), the crowd was really just so energetic. But! Michelle did hang out right at merch and talked to everyone passing by. I really wanted the black sweater from their bandcamp, but they were only selling the white shirts. Still I got it, asked Michelle to sign it while I totally fangirled, and she was totally cool and gracious.

Japanese Breakfast - come play in London again soon!!!

The concert started with 'Planetary Ambiance'.

Japanese Breakfast took the stage in a small show space and kicked out a stretched 'Diving Woman'. The mood was set for a beautiful performance filled with heart and soul that ended with 'Everybody Wants To Love You' and 'Machinist', an energized Michelle Zauner jumping around the stage and at the end standing on the bass drum, bent over backwards, holding herself up hand stretched out on the ceiling belting out the lyrics.

The band travelled 15 hours from Berlin to Paris and delivered. A show to remember.

What a great night! The band were on top form, and Michelle put in an energetic performance. Japanese audiences are often a bit quiet between songs, but everyone was in a lively mood. After the show, Michelle and the band came to the merch table to chat with fans and sign stuff. For me, this was the best gig of the year.

Japanese Breakfast were spectacular! Wonderful energy and they sound just as good live as they do in the studio. For the last song, the singer even climbed down from the stage and entered the audience. The whole show was very well structured and they were awesome to watch. 10/10, will see again.

Terrific energy throughout the show. Music was awesome. Came mostly for Micelle’s vocals, but was somewhat disappointed with the venue’s sound mixing. The few glimmers of brilliant vocals that I did experience will keep me interested in her sure to be meteoric success in her career.

They were fantastic. They had some technical difficulties but they dealt with it very well. It was the start of their first headliner tour.

Thank you so much for playing 12 Steps and Triple 7. These are two of my favorite and it was amazing to hear them both.

Their debut album 'Psychopomp' was my 2016 album of the year. Now seeing them live twice, it's clear they are a talent to watch. The songs on their upcoming album sound fantastic. This band is a must see and a must hear.

What a dream! Perfect Thursday night with this band. I had only heard of a few of their songs but I was very pleased to experience them live. They have a great stage presence and can engage the crowd. 10/10

As always, Japanese Breakfast (with the especially badass and punk-rock Mannequin Pussy and Spirit of the Beehive) was perfect! See all of these bands perform whenever you have the chance. 10/10

So great! Cranberries cover was on point.

I wish this website valued brevity and didn't enforce a minimum word count on show reviews. I really really really really really really really do.

More information

From the moment she began writing her new album, Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner knew that she wanted to call it ​ Jubilee ​. After all, a jubilee is a celebration of the passage of time—a festival to usher in the hope of a new era in brilliant technicolor. Zauner’s first two albums garnered acclaim for the way they grappled with anguish; ​ Psychopomp ​ was written as her mother underwent cancer treatment, while ​ Soft Sounds From Another Planet ​ took the grief she held from her mother‘s death and used it as a conduit to explore the cosmos. Now, at the start of a new decade, Japanese Breakfast is ready to fight for happiness, an all-too-scarce resource in our seemingly crumbling world.

How does she do it? With a joyful noise. From pulsing walls of synthgaze and piano on “Sit,” to the nostalgia-laden strings that float through “Tactics,” ​ Jubilee  bursts with the most wide-ranging arrangements of Zauner’s career. Each song unfurls a new aspect of her artistry: “Be Sweet,” co-written with Wild Nothing’s Jack Tatum, is a jagged, propulsive piece of ‘80s pop that’s followed by a sweetly melancholic ballad in “Kokomo, IN.” As she rides a crest of saxophones and synthesizers through “Slide Tackle,” a piece of nimble pop-funk run through a New Order lens, Zauner professes her desire to move forward: “I want to be good—I want to navigate this hate in my heart somewhere better.”

In the years leading up to ​ Jubilee ​, Zauner also took theory lessons and studied piano in earnest for the first time, in an effort to improve her range as a songwriter: “I’ve never wanted to rest on any laurels. I wanted to push it as far as it could go, inviting more people in and pushing myself as a composer, a producer, an arranger.” She pours that sentiment into the album from the very beginning, weaving a veritable tapestry of sound on the opening track “Paprika.” To build such an anthem of self-actualization, Zauner maxed out the technical limits of her recording rig, expelling her anxieties and egoism with layers upon layers of triumphant horns and marching snares. “How’s it feel to be at the center of magic? To linger in tones and words?” she ponders, conjuring the widescreen majesty of Kate Bush. “I opened the floodgates and found no water, no current, no river, no rush!”

Later, on “Savage Good Boy”—a kooky, terrifyingly prophetic jam co-produced with (Sandy) Alex G—Zauner reduces the excess of modern capitalism to an emotional level, sarcastically imagining the perspective of a billionaire trying to convince his lover to join him underground as the apocalypse unfolds. “I want to make the money until there’s no more to be made/And we will be so wealthy, I’m absolved from questioning/That all my bad behavior was just a necessary strain/They’re the stakes in a race to win.”

“I don’t want to weave politics into my music in a way that feels cheap, but I couldn’t make something that doesn’t comment on the reality we live in,” says Zauner. “I think that you need to push yourself to care, and that’s part of what this album is about: If you want change, in anything, you need to go to war for it.”

At the end comes “Posing for Cars,” one of the longest, most visceral Japanese Breakfast songs to date. In its muted opening, Zauner quietly re-embraces impassioned facets of youth—wistful daydreaming, fierce loyalty—atop a bed of slowly-strummed guitars. Those same feelings pour out of her fingertips as she erupts into a cathartic, nearly three-minute-long solo to close out the record, with gradual swells of distortion that evoke the arena-sized guitars of bands like Wilco or Sonic Youth.

Jubilee ​ is an album about processing life and love in the quest for happiness, and how that process sometimes requires us to step outside of ourselves. “Savage Good Boy” isn’t the only time Zauner takes on a persona; On the cavernous masterpiece “Posing In Bondage,” she imagines a woman left behind in the confines of an empty house, traversing the blurred lines between domesticity and dominance as she sings to an absent lover. Meanwhile, “Kokomo, IN” was written from the perspective of a small-town Indiana boy, forced to say goodbye to a girlfriend who’s shipping off to study abroad. But throughout ​ Jubilee ,​ Zauner is hardly fictionalizing her lyrics, instead pouring her own life into the universe of each song to tell real stories, and allowing those universes, in turn, to fill in the details. Joy, change, evolution—these things take real time, and real effort. And Japanese Breakfast is here for it.

The Linda Lindas first played together as members of a pickup new wave cover band of kids assembled by Kristin Kontrol (Dum Dum Girls) for Girlschool LA in 2018 and then formed their own garage punk group just for fun. Sisters Mila de la Garza (drummer, now 11) and Lucia de la Garza (guitar, 14), cousin Eloise Wong (bass, 13), and family friend Bela Salazar (guitar, 17) developed their chops as regulars at all-ages matinees in Chinatown, where they played with original L.A. punks like The Dils, Phranc, and Alley Cats; went on to open for riot grrrl legends Bikini Kill and architect Alice Bag as well as DIY heavyweights Best Coast and Bleached; and were eventually featured in Amy Poehler’s movie  Moxie .

When the pandemic put a pause on shows, The Linda Lindas went on to self-release a four-song EP, make their own videos (including a get-out-the-vote effort with friends such as Tony Reflex from Adolescents, Adam Pfahler from Jawbreaker, Tae Won Yu from Kicking Giant, Allison Wolfe, Lois Maffeo, Money Mark, and Mike Watt), and grow a following beyond Los Angeles. But they never expected or could have even dreamed that their performance of “Racist, Sexist Boy” for the Los Angeles Public Library in May 2021 would take them from punk shows to TV shows.

A month later, when the school year ended and summer began, The Linda Lindas got to work on their first full-length LP. Having written a mountain of new material individually while sheltering in place and attending class virtually, the band was more than ready to enter the studio where Mila and Lucia’s dad (and Eloise’s uncle and Bela’s “uncle”) Carlos de la Garza oversaw recording and production. The Grammy-winning producer’s work includes Paramore, Bad Religion, Best Coast, and Bleached.

A product of generations of underground music in L.A. and beyond, The Linda Lindas’ debut channels classic punk, post punk, power pop, new wave, and other surprises into timelessly catchy and cool songs sung by all four members—each with her own style and energy. A handful of cuts have already been previewed at shows and enthusiastically approved by diehard followers in the pit at L.A.’s DIY punk institution The Smell and Head in the Cloud festivalgoers at The Rose Bowl alike. The Linda Lindas are stoked to unleash  Growing Up.

Japanese Breakfast bringing concerts back to Cleveland Agora: Q&A with Michelle Zauner

• Published: Aug. 03, 2021, 1:36 p.m.

• Annie Nickoloff, cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Agora is set to mark its return to live music after being closed for more than a year because of the coronavirus pandemic. The show, scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 5, will feature the indie-rock band Japanese Breakfast, led by singer-guitarist Michelle Zauner.

The show won’t look quite the same as Agora shows in early 2020 before the pandemic. Fans will be faced with some new COVID-19 protocols to even get into the venue on the day of the concert.

The protocols were announced on Japanese Breakfast’s social media accounts on Monday:

“Given the spread of the Delta variant and the CDC’s recent changes to masking guidelines, we are kindly requesting that the following COVID protocol be upheld at all upcoming Japanese Breakfast shows.

-All attendees will either be fully vaccinated or will have received a negative PCR test within 48 hours preceding the show.

-Mouth and nose coverings will be worn by all attendees at all times except when eating or drinking.

-Any staff dealing with band or audience members will be fully vaccinated.”

Zauner and other Japanese Breakfast bandmates declined to provide further comment about the newly placed restrictions, instead referring to their social media posting. That post applies to all remaining dates on the tour, which runs through mid-November. The Agora will follow Japanese Breakfast’s requests, according to a venue spokesperson.

The tour celebrates Japanese Breakfast’s latest celebratory indie album, “Jubilee,” along with Zauner’s debut book: a memoir about the death of her mother, titled “Crying in H Mart.” The book arrived a few years after a 2018 essay Zauner wrote for the New Yorker of the same name.

We caught up with Zauner to talk about her music, her book and pandemic life. The interview took place on Wednesday, July 28, before the band’s COVID-19 policies were announced. Check out our conversation with Zauner below:

How’s your tour going for you?

It’s going great. You know, it’s good to be back, there’s still some trepidation but I’m just really happy that we get to be doing this. It’s been really fun.

Your show in Cleveland at the Agora; it’s the first show at the venue, I think, since it was shut down last year. What’s it like to be doing this big comeback show there?

It’s very surreal. I think the last time we played Cleveland was at Mahall’s so it’s a huge leap up and it’s kind of a wealth of sensory riches that it’s hard to know how to feel. It’s been a year and a half since we’ve even played a show and a lot of these shows are the biggest ones we’ve ever played. So it’s hard to know exactly what to even be excited about at this point.

Playing Mahall’s, and other past Cleveland shows -- any memories you’d like to share? I also know that Little Big League, when you were in that band, played Brite Winter in 2014.

Oh my god, that’s right, I remember that show really well because it was so cold. It was in the dead of winter and I’m pretty sure I fell on my ass on a patch of snow, while loading the car. I kind of miss those days sometimes -- it was so gritty and real and I remember seeing my friends play as a joke outside with their shirts off. That was a really fun show. I can’t remember which band headlined, but they’d been playing for a really long time and it was really cool to see a band like that, still doing the DIY thing.

But, yeah, I’ve had a lot of really great times in Mahall’s. We have good friends in Cleveland and so we always have a really good time there. Mahall’s is one of my favorite venues. I do remember eating a chicken wing onstage while Alex G was playing there.

To talk about “Jubilee” -- I love that it’s a celebration-themed album, especially after this past year. I feel like the timing kind of worked out with the release.

I do, too. I’m really glad. it was supposed to come out a year before but I think it feels a lot more timely right now that a lot of people can really, unfortunately, relate to that kind of feeling of being released to the world after a really tense, traumatic time and get to embrace all of the joys of being human.

I was wondering if you could tell me more about some of the themes on the album, where they came from?

I think that after writing two records about grief and loss and an entire book about that experience, I just felt like it was time to tackle something at the other end of human experience and I felt like the most surprising thing I could do is an artist whose narrative has been really painted by being “grief girl,” that I could write an album about joy.

I think, especially for the sort of genre that I operate in, that’s also a kind of rarity and in a lot of ways, it was an album about relearning how to experience those types of emotions and giving yourself permission to move on and explore other parts of your life. Especially after writing this book, I felt really ready to move on from exploring that part of my life.

I’m actually in the middle of reading your book right now. It’s lovely. And I remember reading the New Yorker essay, I was just very excited for it to come out. What’s it been like to release that book? And what’s it like to be promoting that and the album? They’re very different.

It wasn’t supposed to be so on the heels of each other, but the way that the pandemic impacted the album, it almost feels like a double release in a way. But I think that the narrative really works because like I’ve said, it feels like all of these feelings that I have felt this real need to understand and explore and investigate.

I’ve had really moving things said to me about how people who have been grieving are motivated by this album by knowing that they may be not there in their stage of grief yet, but there is joy at the end of the tunnel. I feel like that’s what’s represented by both this album and this book coming out around the same time. These were my darkest days and joy is still something that’s possible after going through all that.

In this past year, I know you’ve mentioned it affected releases, but how did you spend the time? What was it like for you?

Honestly, I’m someone that is very grounded by my work and so it was very difficult, having finished these two major projects and not really knowing what to do with myself or not having that feeling of release that generally comes with art-making.

I just tried to find ways to busy myself. I worked a lot on this soundtrack for a video game called “Sable” that I’m scoring. I spent a lot of time trying to exercise and find different ways to incorporate routine into my life to not spiral into a great depression. I practiced a lot of piano and tried to clean the house a lot. Those little things, I think, to stay grounded.

Now that we’re back to shows, as a concert-goer it definitely has a different energy. I was wondering if that’s something you’re experiencing as a performer -- if it feels different than it used to?

There’s so much unknown -- I wish it didn’t feel like that. I think that we all anticipated this major feeling of release with shows. I think it’s unfortunately still tied with this major sense of unknown, that kind of keeps us from feeling that entirely.

I think that we’re also just relearning how to be social creatures again. And for me, personally, I still feel like I’m getting comfortable talking to a large group of people. It’s just relearning how to do the thing and I think that it’s impacted us in ways that we are, maybe just beginning to reckon with now.

Japanese Breakfast’s Jubilant Coronation in Brooklyn

By Simon Vozick-Levinson

Simon Vozick-Levinson

Michelle Zauner had a very good year in 2021, releasing Jubilee , her third album as Japanese Breakfast, to rave reviews in June — just a few weeks after Crying in H Mart , her heartrendingly beautiful memoir of grief, became a bestseller. “I just try to do my best in both mediums,” she told   Rolling Stone ‘s Angie Martoccio this summer. “I try not to think about any of the validation I’ve received, and just focus on what I like and doing to the best of my ability.”

Japanese Breakfast returned to the road this fall after a long pandemic break, and in October, Zauner led the band through four sold-out shows at New York’s Brooklyn Steel. They were stunning performances that outdid even the abundant melodic joys of Jubilee , and they felt like an apt celebration of everything she’s done this year. Here are our photographs from backstage, onstage, and in the crowd.

Pre-Show Jitters

Zauner played four nights at Brooklyn Steel, with Canadian indie-pop artist Luna Li as her opener at the first show. It was a big night in more ways than one: Zauner mentioned onstage that this was her first show in New York since she officially moved back to the city after years in Philadelphia. “I was so excited to be back on tour, but being back on tour was harder than I anticipated,” she recently told  RS   in an interview about returning to the road.

Zauner and her bandmates share a quick toast before stepping onstage. “[Touring in 2021] didn’t really seem real until it actually started,” she said recently . “We had so many tours canceled and the album got moved and concerts postponed…Even when we were on it, it seemed pretty unreal.” 

“Don’t Fuck Up!”

The band and crew toast to “not fucking up” before heading onstage for the first night of their four-night run. Jubilee ‘s main theme, Zauner has said , is the “different ways that we interact with joy — if it’s a struggle to feel joy, or it’s a reminder to feel joy, or if it’s doing something to sustain joy, or walking away from someone or something to experience joy or preserve joy.”

Japanese Breakfast’s sets this year have been opening with “Paprika,” the ecstatic fanfare that also opens  Jubilee. “There was no question that the album had to open with ‘Paprika,'” she told  RS this year. “We really went all out for that one. The strings and horns — it was everything that I wanted. The song is so much about forcing yourself to revel in music-making and really feeling what you have to offer and making sure that that’s really real — that you really deserve to be in this position that you’ve staked out for yourself.”

On With the Show

Japanese Breakfast and Brooklyn Steel requested that all attendees keep their masks on during the show to limit the risk of spreading Covid. In August, Zauner became one of the first prominent musicians to require masks and proof of vaccination at shows — drawing praise from New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who called her “one of the greatest songwriters…in America” before announcing similar rules for all indoor events in the city.

Gentle Touch

Zauner shares a moment onstage with her husband and bandmate, Peter Bradley (left). Her memoir includes a touching account of their courtship and marriage, including the lengthy wedding vows in which he rhapsodized, “what procellous awesomeness does not in you abound.”

Laughing Out Loud

Zauner cracks up midshow.  Jubilee is a bold embrace of her pop instincts: “I was influenced by artists like Björk and Kate Bush, these women who are essentially pop musicians with mass appeal — but they’re both really fucking weird,” she has said . “I wanted to lean into the surreal quality that they bring to their work, and what makes them so unique.”

Michelle dedicates one song to a fan who requested it because they were going through a tough time. She has said that both songwriting and memoir involve “finding beauty in things that are everyday…. It helps to just be a very sensitive person.”

Release the Balloons

The super-catchy single “Be Sweet” was a highlight of the show. “I’m obviously a poptimist,” Zauner has said . “As a lot of indie bands get bigger, it’s a very obvious move to pivot to the pop realm, because you’re kind of like, ‘What’s going to get me into a bigger room?’ But I wanted to make sure that I was well-intentioned with my music. I was very scared of making a poppy record.”

Live Onstage

“I knew that I wanted my third album to be the most drama and the strongest foot forward,” Zauner has said of Jubilee . “Because by the third record, you should really know who you are and what you want to be doing as an artist. And I really wanted to go all out for it.”

Everybody Wants to Love You

“Everybody Wants to Love You,” from Japanese Breakfast’s 2016 debut,  Psychopomp , closed out the main set. In her memoir, Zauner writes about how it felt to tour as the debut attracted buzz: “After the shows, I’d sell shirts and copies of the record, oftentimes to other mixed kids and Asian Americans who, like me, struggled to find artists who looked like them, or kids who had lost their parents who would tell me how the songs had helped them.”

Japanese Breakfast Announces Tour, Shares Video for New Song: Watch

Japanese Breakfast has shared another new single from her forthcoming album Jubilee . “Posing in Bondage” arrives with a self-directed music video. Check it out below, and scroll down for Japanese Breakfast’s newly-announced string of North American tour dates.

“‘Posing in Bondage’ is a ballad about loneliness and longing, a song about two people who want so badly to connect but are never quite able to do so,” Japanese Breakfast mastermind Michelle Zauner said in a press release. “No place felt lonelier than an empty grocery at 1 a.m. The video is actually an epilogue to the one that will accompany our next single, here presented out of order.”

Jubilee is out June 4 via Dead Oceans . Last month, Zauner shared lead single “ Be Sweet ,” which was also accompanied by a self-directed music video.

Jubilee follows 2017’s Soft Sounds from Another Planet . Read Pitchfork’s Profile “ Japanese Breakfast Is Working the Pain Away .”

Japanese Breakfast Plot Radio City Music Hall Appearance

Japanese Breakfast have shared its plans to perform at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The performance marks the group’s most substantial headlining appearance in The Big Apple. Their newly announced concert will land on Oct. 5 and includes support from Ichiko Aoba. 

Before the fall show in New York, the group’s bandleader, Michelle Zauner, will embark on a tour supporting her memoir, Crying in H Mart , which was released on April 20, 2021. Following a series of book-related appearances for the songstress, she will rejoin her band for a series of festival appearances. 

The indie pop ensemble will participate in Adjacent Festival in Atlantic City, N.J., in late May, before arriving in Napa Valley, Calif., for a set at BottleRocket. In continuation of their festival schedule, the band will hop across the pond and perform on the international festival circuit before returning to the U.S. at the end of August.

Japanese Breakfast

Japanese Breakfast was once the side project of Michelle Zauner, the vocalist and guitarist of the Philadelphia rock band Little Big League. But Zauner’s solo recordings—gripping and ethereal pop spells—quickly became her respite during a fraught time; she moved to Oregon to care for her mother, who was diagnosed with cancer and died shortly afterward. She is immortalized in Zauner’s shimmering début full-length album, “Psychopomp,” released earlier this year, and even makes a cameo appearance on the title track in the form of a voicemail. Recently, Zauner shredded guitar while donning the traditional Korean hanbok dress that her mother wore to Zauner’s own wedding, in the music video for the effervescent track “Everybody Wants to Love You.” Fresh from a tour opening for Mitski, Zauner performs moving cuts from her album during a headlining set at Baby’s All Right, along with her band. With Emily Reo and Sharpless. (Baby’s All Right; 146 Broadway, Brooklyn. 718-599-5800. Oct. 6.) )
