THE HEAT

THE HEAT

THE HEAT, formed in 1980 in Kikuchi City, Japan, has been inspired by Masamitsu Kikugawa's admiration for the Rolling Stones. Over the years, their dedication to emulating Mick Jagger's artistry led to numerous local contest victories. Despite facing tragedy with the loss of their bassist, the band focused on using music for healing, performing at various relief concerts. They've also made their mark internationally, recording at Toshiba EMI Studio in 2006 and performing in China and Korea. Celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2020 with a concert and an album titled "Way to London," they resumed touring post-pandemic and played at Japan's oldest live house, Jittoku, in 2023. In October 2024, THE HEAT is set to fulfill a longtime dream with a London tour, showcasing their performance on a global stage.
