It's the label that gave us Supercar, Denki Groove and Asian Kung-Fu Generation. Sony Music subsidiary Ki/oon Records celebrates its 20th anniversary this month – and, rather cutely, it's doing it over the course of 20 gigs. Just about every act from the Ki/oon roster will be showing up at Liquidroom in the course of the event, including Polysics, Puffy, Pushim and plenty of bands whose names don't start with 'P', plus a few familiar faces from the past. You can also meet some potential stars of the future at April 8's free 'Ki/oon 20 Years Audition Final' show, the winners of which will get to open for Asian Kung-Fu Generation on April 29.
