Lamp: Rock Band in New York

About Lamp

Lamp is a Japanese indie pop group that began in 2000, built around guitarist Taiyo Someya and the songwriting partnership of Yusuke Nagai and Kaori Sakakibara. Their recordings draw on city pop, shibuya-kei, and Japanese indie, with arrangements that emphasize harmony and careful pacing. In New York City they appear in rooms like The Sultan Room, White Eagle Hall, and Brooklyn Bowl, where their set often sits comfortably alongside band-forward bills such as LaMP with bassist Oteil Burbridge. Their performances favor detail over spectacle.
