Zebrahead

What is this, Pop-Punk Week or something? Following on immediately from Simple Plan's two nights at Shibuya AX, here's another pair of gigs by a band who manage to set the maturity bar even lower. Punk-rap act Zebrahead have clocked up seven albums of goofball anthems to date, finding time to cover the likes of the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child along the way. 15 years into their career, they remain an enduring favourite in Japan, where their popularity can be explained partly by the fact that they hew to the same stylistic template as local heroes like Hi-Standard and 10-Feet – it certainly isn't because they've developed their art much. Support on both nights comes from Welsh rockers Kids in Glass Houses.
