Old Man River Wows Japan

Thanks to the catchiest song ever “La,” Old Man River has become an overnight sensation in Japan. “La” was the most-played song on Japanese radio last week, an amazing achievement for a Western band.

Old Man River will head to Japan for a week long promo tour in mid February, before jetting to the US for the South by South West conference. Then it’s back to the Land of the Rising Sun in August for the Summersonic Festival, which will see them play to more than 200, 000 fans in three cities.

Old Man River will release their debut album Good Morning in Japan this week.
