Kikagaku Moyo

Kikagaku Moyo was a Japanese psychedelic rock band formed in Tokyo in 2012 and active until the end of 2022. The name translates as "geometric patterns". The group played long, jam-based psychedelic rock with guitars, sitar and flute, and it built an audience well outside Japan through tours in the United States, Europe and Australia and through Guruguru Brain, the label started by two of its members. Go Kurosawa and Tomo Katsurada met in Tokyo in the summer of 2012 and started the band. The later line-up added Kotsu Guy on bass, Daoud Popal on guitar and Ryu Kurosawa on sitar and keyboards.
