Chai, a four-member band from Japan, will give a show this week.

Formed in 2012, the band describes themselves as a “neo kawaii” (neo cute) woman band. They believe that everyone is cute in their own way and aim to express this through their music. The band members try to use psychological complexes as inspiration for their music.

Tokyo Jihen’s “Variety” (2007) was an early influence for their music, inspiring them to make sure that every song on a release is distinct. The band lists Basement Jaxx, Jamiroquai, Gorillaz and CSS as some of their major influences. On their album “Pink” (2017), Chai drew influence from The Chemical Brothers and electronic groups such as Chvrches and Justice.
