#Kaoru Hashimoto

Helsinki Lambda Club, a genre-blurring trio from Chiba, Japan, has been redefining the indie rock scene since their formation in the summer of 2013. Fronted by the charismatic Kaoru Hashimoto (Vo, G), with the rhythmic backbone of Kota Inaba (B, Cho) and the dynamic guitar stylings of Taiki Kumagai (G), the band has carved a unique space with their quirky charm and fearless creativity.

In 2023, they celebrated a decade of sonic exploration with their third full-length album, Welcome to Helsinki Lambda Club, a vibrant invitation to their ever-evolving world. 2024 saw them stepping onto the international stage with performances at SXSW in the U.S. and The Great Escape in Brighton, marking their inaugural UK tour. They capped off the year with the release of their experimental EP, Monthly Escape, and launched the aptly titled Escape from the Winter General tour, bringing their genre-defying energy to 11 cities across Japan. Always pushing boundaries, Helsinki Lambda Club continues to craft music that's as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.
