It’s a somewhat daunting prospect, but consider celebrating Christmas the “violent” way with veteran music pranksters Hikashu. Blending synth-pop with avant-garde improv, Koichi Makigami’s Hikashu have been dear to music otakus’ hearts for decades. They’ll be joined by members of freak-out jazz orchestra Shibusa Shirazu and indie-trio Zazen Boys as well as Charan-Po-Rantan, a young female duo that blends gypsy music with cancan burlesque and storytelling via illustrated storyboards and, erm, plastic pigs.

Unit, Dec 25. (listing).
