Tits, Tats & Whiskers are a band you would never suspect being from Japan. But that is their home base. Japan has an up-an-coming music indie music scene that, if nurtured, could be a global hotspot. One of the acts that makes this obvious is Tits, Tats & Whiskers, a band that has its origins in Tokyo but who’s members are from around the world. Namely Italy, The Phillipines, and The United States. I talk to on of these members, drummer Mattia, about Tits, Tats & Whiskers as well as the past, present, and future.
