Tokyo Tea Room

British band Tokyo Tea Room sets up shop at La Bellevilloise for an evening dedicated to their indie-tinged pop rock. An opportunity to discover their unique universe live on stage.

Hailing from Canterbury, Tokyo Tea Room formed around singer and lyricist Beth Plumb, guitarist Ben Marshall, bassist Sam Teather, and drummer Ryan Debling. The band began to gain recognition in the mid-2010s, developing a sound that fuses catchy pop melodies with the raw energy of indie rock. Their music is often characterised by dreamy atmospheres and introspective lyrics, creating a distinct sonic identity that quickly set them apart on the emerging scene.

Their discography includes EPs such as « Dreams » (2017) and « Parade » (2019), as well as singles that helped establish their reputation, such as « Flicker » or « Designer ». These tracks illustrate their ability to create soundscapes that are both ethereal and captivating, where Beth Plumb's voice delicately rests upon textured guitar arrangements and a solid rhythm section. Their influences lie somewhere between psychedelic pop and alternative rock, sometimes evoking bands like Beach House or Warpaint, while cultivating their own uniqueness.

On stage, Tokyo Tea Room is renowned for its immersive approach. The band favours an intimate atmosphere, where musical precision and emotion are at the forefront. Their performances are often described as sonic journeys, where instrumental textures unfold to envelop the audience. This appearance at La Bellevilloise, a Parisian venue known for its eclecticism and warm setting, offers an ideal opportunity to immerse oneself in their universe and appreciate the finesse of their live composition. It's a chance to experience authentic music with a band that continues to forge its path with integrity.
