The three acts are among the Canadian indie musicians performing in Tokyo next week as part of an annual music showcase to reach the Asian market.
Industry representatives from a number of Asian countries will attend the shows and meet with artists.
Bedouin Soundclash, Watson, Saint Alvia and Woodhands are set to play the Duo Music Exchange, a music venue in the city's Shibuya entertainment district, on Nov. 12.
That gig will be followed by a Nov. 14 showcase performance at the Canadian Embassy featuring the Trews, Alex Cuba, The Russian Futurists and Sofia de Medeiros.
The showcase, now in its second year, is spearheaded by the Canadian Independent Record Association. The organization also promotes homegrown acts at such events as South by Southwest in Austin, TX and CMJ in New York.
