A bit of Southern California cool hits Tokyo this week when Bombon — an all-female surf rock outfit comprised of guitarist Angela Ramos, bassist Paloma Banuelos and drummer Jerico Campbell — arrives in Japan for its first overseas tour.
The group plays several shows across the greater a Tokyo area, sharing the bill with a variety of female-fronted Japanese acts, including The 5.6.7.8's — a group Bombon considers a key inspiration for its own sound.
"We have always been big fans of theirs and dreamed of playing with them," Banuelos says. "We look up to them because they have been performing for such a long time in Japan."
