The Wu will appear from October 27 through November 3 in Japan, including three sets on Halloween at Thumbs Up in Yokohoma enhanced by a psychedelic photo show from by 415. Castino will be on guitar with the group for its October U.S. dates prior to the Japanese tour, which continue on Friday at the Tap Room in Duluth, MN.
