Regal Lily is supposed to be on tour at the moment. But instead of enjoying what the band’s members like about touring — eating hotel breakfasts, trying local dishes or simply exploring new towns — they’re staying put. There will be no early April show at Mynavi Blitz Akasaka, Tokyo, wrapping up what would have been a tour promoting their first full album, “bedtime story,” released early February.

Of course, COVID-19 is the reason you won’t be seeing Regal Lily on stage anytime soon. Rather than being introduced to the group’s music in a live setting, the self-isolation and social distancing that this most antisocial of pandemics demands now gives you ample time to discover this shoegaze trio and its inaugural album by yourself.

But Regal Lily has been around a lot longer than its first album would suggest.
