Japanther's 2009 Concert History

Japanther is a punk rock band from Brooklyn, New York, United States formed in 2001 by two students at Pratt Institute.

They have recorded with Plan-It-X Records, Tapes Records, Wäntage USA and the Menlo Park label. Japanther has been featured in Vice, The New York Times, Gothamist, Dallas Observer, Razorcake, and New York magazine among others. In the first two years of the band, they toured nine times.
