Australian punk rockers Mach Pelican performed at The Tote in Melbourne on Saturday 15 February 2025. Formed in Perth, Western Australia during 1996 by three Japanese students who were studying English, they relocated to Melbourne a couple of years later and toured extensively. Mach Pelican is Keisuke “K-Rock” Nakamura on guitar and vocals, Atsushi “Arts Longrun” Omori on bass and vocals, and Toshi “8Beat” Maeda on drums and vocals. Following their farewell tour in 2007 with a final show in Tokyo, they have since reformed at times to play shows sporadically, much to the delight of their fans.
