From the stage to the runway, Kio, Kai and Nico are Gliiico, a three brother band set against the vibrant backdrop that is Tokyo. Pulling from an eclectic mix of vinyl-era textures and modern day aesthetics, the result is a re-emergence of a nostalgic, yet new sound that has been compared to the likes of Tame Impala, Gorillaz and the Bee Gees. Gliiico has already blurred the lines between music and fashion, opening for international acts like Phoenix and Khruangbin while lending their music and likenesses for Swarovski and Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo, appearing in both print and online for GQ, L’Officiel and Vogue, and walking fashion shows for brands like Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Diesel.

“Their music dwells in the genres of indie pop-rock, with tracks that can only be best described as pure energy. They certainly sound like the spiritual successors to those cool late-aughts-to-early-2010s bands of the same genre, if not more pleasing visually and sonically.” - Vogue Philippines
“With each successive alliance the group grows stronger and more refined without losing their edge or the adventurousness that made them thrilling in the first place.” - The Quietus
