Michigan psychedelic pop and rock band The Go Rounds are gearing up for their first major tour in seven years. Having last ventured beyond weekend gigs in summer 2019, the band returns to northern Michigan stages for a highly anticipated comeback.

In 1989, Shintaro Sakamoto led the fledgling psychedelic rock band Yura Yura Teikoku at a Tokyo venue called La.mama for their first real gig. The daytime audition seemed like a modest start, but it would become a defining moment in Sakamoto’s early career, setting the tone for his journey ahead.
