1. tricot are a rock band from Kyoto, Japan created in 2010 by four talented musicians: Ikkyu Nakajima (vocals, guitar), Motoko "Motifour" Kida (guitar, vocals), Hiromi "Hirohiro" Sagane (bass, vocals) and Yuusuke Yoshida (drums). Previous drummer Kazutaka Komaki left in 2014 but they have had replacement live drummers including Yuumi of FLiP and Yamaguchi Miyoko of detroit7 and BimBamBoom. The band has developed a unique mix of elements using their fragile but dynamic vocal styles combined with thrilling, unpredictable and addictive song transitions as they explore dreamy post-rock-esque melodies and the complex rhythms similar to math rock. In 2012 and 2013, due to the well recieved singles, EPs and mini-album releases, they performed at several major festivals across Japan such as ARABAKI ROCK FEST, FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL, ROCK IN JAPAN, RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL, MONSTER BASH, WILD BUNCH FEST, SWEET LOVE SHOWER and more. Not long after this was the arrival of tricot's debut full-length album "T H E" which followed another long and successful support tour, leading into the 2014 year with appearances around 5 countries during the “What’s Ochansensu-Su!? tricot Asia Tour”. That same year the band appeared at four large festivals in Europe and show no signs of slowing down their rapidly expanding career. The band's name is sometimes stylized as: トリコ (toriko) ___ 2. tricot are an instrumental emo and post-rock band from Porto Alegre, Brazil; Berlin, Germany; and Erechim, Brazil, formed in 2006 by members and ex-members of My Soundtracked Life, Campbell Trio and Emer with the only consistent members being Diego Poloni and Rafael Poloni, both on guitars. The band has an irregular activity due to its members living in different countries and not always being able to be together, which makes the band an almost exclusively studio project. They had a recording session in 2006 which is currently "lost" due to a malfunctioning hard drive (meaning it exists but is currently inaccessible). They entered the studio again in mid 2008, but the recordings were never finished, with two of the songs recorded being released in 2010. They again entered the studio in December of 2013 and January of 2014, but again, never finished the recordings. However, the band will release the five songs from this 2013/2014 sessions in 2023 and is intending to record a full length album in the near future (and release it this time). The band got its name from the last track on My Soundtracked Life's 2006 album colours, senses and noises: a suite in 12 movements, which is called "tricot".
