Cibo Matto – 40 Watt
Cibo Matto, the New York City based Japanese trip-hop duo, received attention in 1996 when its debut album “Viva! La Women” contained a track listing of the names of food. The group disbanded in 2002 until the release of Cibo Matto’s third LP “Hotel Valentine,” a concept album about ghosts in a hotel, in 2014. The group’s Athens debut at the 40 Watt Club promises to be interesting. Tickets are $16 and the show begins at 9 p.m.
