In the mid-1990s, the musical lives of DC-based Tsunami and the NYC-based Ida were intertwined. In addition to sharing many bills and tours together, Tsunami’s label, Simple Machines Records, released Ida’s first three albums, and the band members frequently collaborated on other musical projects. Now, 25 years later, both bands are celebrating the reissue of their 1990s releases by The Numero Group with the Coin Toss tour in March and April 2025.
In a nod to equity, whimsy, and jamming econo, the two bands plan to share equipment and van space, as well as determining each night’s stage order by a flip of the coin. The audience is encouraged to join the bands for the entire evening as Ida and Tsunami fuse their sets together. Special guests – representing the bands’ wide network of musical friends and heroes – are expected to join them on stage at most shows, to lend a crazy guitar part, or guest vocals, or one of their own songs. There will be sewn-on patches, swag, and participation prizes, and a joyful noise.
