Help Already Late Make History at Tokyo Tower
A Dream Years in the Making
After grinding through the NYC music scene for years, playing dive bars, subway platforms, and every venue that would have them, Already Late has achieved something extraordinary. This Japanese fusion hip hop pop punk band didn't just survive the cutthroat New York music world – they thrived. With over 20 electrifying performances this year alone, they've built a devoted following and proven they belong on bigger stages.
Now, that bigger stage is calling – literally from across the Pacific.
Self-made and overflowing with talent, these 3 college besties turned powerhouse band have made a name for themselves in the NYC small venue scene. Their hits like Loser, Noctis, and Let Me Go showcase their unique approach for musical AND visual storytelling, taking you on a RIDE while you're bopping along to the can't-get-it-out-of-your-head beats.
The Opportunity of a Lifetime
Already Late has won a competition to perform at Tokyo Tower – one of Japan's most iconic landmarks and a dream venue for any artist. This isn't just another gig; it's a homecoming performance that could launch their career to new heights. Imagine the poetry: a band that conquered New York returning to Japan to play where the Tokyo skyline meets the sky.
But here's the reality: winning the slot was the easy part. Funding the trip? That's where they need your help.
Why This Matters
This isn't just about one band's dream – it's about representation, cultural bridge-building, and proving that dedication pays off. Already Late represents something powerful: artists who refused to be boxed in, who created their own lane by blending genres and cultures, and who put in the unglamorous work of building a fanbase one show at a time.
