This group have been together for somewhere around 20 years, starting out as a free-form new wave krautrock goth punk unit with the Tsuchiya brothers (Haru and Take) and Sakai-san. Yagi joined the group later and his cutting Junior Marvin inspired guitar playing and Haru-chan's discovery of Lee 'Scratch' Perry transformed the group into a non-rasta dub band with a sound somewhere between The Slits and Rock Steady with a touch of Plastics and Nina Haagen. Eichi is the newest member and defacto band manager.

A real down-home Japanese spirit molds this wide range of music into an original sound I call 'Japanese Spiritual New Wave Dub'.

They are like a baby, both cute and grotesque at the same time.

I just made up some names for these improvised sections. I showed these improvised song titles to the band's bassist and he laughed without really passing judgment either way.

As this was their first show back in Nagoya for quite some time Take was in a very talkative mood between songs. These introductions/ramblings have been given separate tracks and improvised track titles as well.
