MINAMI DEUTSCH

Booking Agents : Ricky Biondetti & Federico Zanatta

Minami Deutsch is a Krautrock band from Tokyo.
These self-described “repetition freaks” cite psychedelic rock and minimal techno as guideposts, but—as evidenced by a band name that is Japanese for “South Germany”— they’re really obsessed with krautrock.
Formed by Kyotaro Miula in 2014, they got their start playing live music on the busy streets of Tokyo. This lead to their participation in Krautrock Night, a party hosted by Tokyo Psych Fest, and later a tour of Taiwan. In September, 2015, they released their first record via English cult label Cardinal Fuzz Records, with Kikagaku Moyo’s label Guruguru Brain releasing it on cassette/digital-download by .
This release received a lot of positive attention from magazines and music blogs around the world.
In July 2016, they released the acclaimed 7” EP “Tunnel / New Pastoral Life”, nominated in “The 20 best 7″s of 2016” on The Vinyl Factory.
In September 2016, Minami Deutsch did their first European Tour including a legendary show at the Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia.
In February 2017, their first album was released for the first time on the CD format via German psych label Suratron Records,run by Electric Moon. Later in the Summer the band started a 40 shows EU tour around their participation to Desertfest Belgium.
In April 2018, Minami deutsch released their 2nd album “With Dim Light”.
The album was premiered by an American music media, Aquarium Drunkard, and Pitchfork reviewed it as “Krautrock, psychedelia, and a DJ’s flair for track sequencing come together on an album that proves this Tokyo trio is more than just a revival act.”
Later in the year the band performed twice at the prestigious Roadburn Festival. In one of the shows, they shared the stage with Damo Suzuki, former vocalist of legendary Krautrock band, CAN.

Fortune Goodies, Minami Deutsch’s long-awaited 3rd studio album was released in 2022. While not all the songs on the record function as straightforward Krautrock this time around, they still managed to capture the spirit and heart of the genre. After relocating from Tokyo to Berlin, Miula’s musical vocabulary has greatly expanded, thus resulting in this ultimate Japanese take on cosmic music in 2022.
In the latest two years the band performed across Europe, the UK, Australia and North America, including festival appearances as well as sold out headlining club shows.
