Ones To Watch 2015: KOJI

• 19th Dec 2014

We’ve been diggin’ him here at Glasswerk since 2011 (just sayin’) so we’re pleased to see Andrew Koji Shiraki – better known simply as Koji – is set to return to the UK and Ireland in February 2015.

The two week run will include his first Irish dates in over three years and support on all dates comes from The City On Film – a.k.a. Bob Nanna of legendary emo groups Braid and Hey Mercedes. The dates follow the 2013 release of Koji’s debut LP Crooked In My Mind, along with a number of previous EPs and splits with La Dispute and Into It. Over It.

Now he’s finally starting to pick up a bit of traction, 2015 could be the year that this peaceful activist and songwriter finally makes the mark we always knew he could.
