In 1997,1999 and 2003, a set of performances aroused a storm
of frenzy and shriek in Europe... and they will be back with even greater
power.
This time 3 musicians (YoshidaTatsuya/Tsuyama Atsushi/Kawabata
Makoto) form 7 units!! A cappella, comic free form, progressive core,
troubadour, cosmic psychedelic......
you'll be experiencing the essence of all kinds of extremes in the
current new music scene in Japan on a single night.
Never miss it.
ZUBI ZUVA X (Yoshida/Tsuyama/Kawabata)
Eccentric poly-rhythmic a cappella ensemble. It covers from Gregorian chant
to ethnic music, to do-wop to hardcore screaming, heavily using irregular
rhythms and polyrhythm. All sorts of ideas and aberrant musicality overturn
the image of a cappella. their totally meaningless lyrics and desperate
performances throw the audiences into the abyss of the laughter and
admiration. it makes the concept of "singing ability"nonsense.
AKATEN (Tsuyama/Yoshida)
Formed in 1995 with the motto of "irresponsibleness" and "perfunctoriness."
They easily free themselves from the spell of the traditional seriousness of
the art. Using daily commodities like scissors, toothbrush, zipper, camera,
and plastic bottle as percussions, and shouting their brand names over and
over as the "songs," the show is performed under the concept of low cost and
maximum sound effect. AKATEN is the experimental convenience store punk band
that provides the sound images of cheap and simple daily lives.
RUINS ALONE (Yoshida)
RUINS is pioneer of Drum & Bass duo. Tunes are complicated and mysterious,
and songs are sung in the language of their own invention. It's
high-tension, wild, heavy, speedy, acute, and powerful tremendous ensemble
never sounds like they are only two players. since last bassist left Yoshida
still seeking a bassist and currently he has been playing as RUINS ALONE.
playing RUINS songs with sampling bass. this time Yoshida will play songs
from Koenji Hyakkei and Korekyojinn too.
ZOFFY (Tsuyama/Kawabata)
Formed in 1998. Zoffy's music hints both at the members' deep musical
knowledge via their improvised performances of troubadour music and European
trad, and also at their deep love for rock via their destructivist covers of
classic rock songs, that
no longer sounds like anything but ZOFFY. The group believes
that humor is essential in music, and their unprecedented performances stray
far from the beaten track. Is this the Ultima Thule that rock music has long
been aiming for?
SHRINP WARK (Kawabata/Yoshida)
A new improvising duo consisting of Yoshida from Ruins and Kawabata from
AMT. group inspired by This Heat and band name taken from their song "Shrink
Wrap". Cosmic chemical reaction sound that embraces a multidimensional chaos
based upon the principles of minimalism, an anarchistic warping of the time
axis, and ultra-accelerated revolving of time particles.
Acid Mothers Temple have rapidly become acclaimed as the greatest, most
extreme trip psychedelic group in the world. Releases have appeared on
labels around the world at an amazing pace, and the magnificence of their
live performances is already being whispered of as legendary. SWR is the AMT
Family's most powerful battle-formation yet. featuring Tsuyama and Kawabata
from the original AMT and Yoshida from Ruins. their crushingly acute
freakout sound will pulverize the world's legions of wannabe psych groups.
SEIKAZOKU (Kawabata/Tsuyama/Yoshida)
Formed in 1996. The expansive musicality of the group, which nonchalantly
references classic prog and rock, ethnic music, jazz and contemporary
composition, is backed up the three members' impressive backgrounds and the
depth of their musical knowledge. Improvised music for holy trinity heresy
that runs the full gamut of ethnic and electric instruments, primitive
stupidity, the suspicious stench of medieval alchemy, the raw power of early
rock music, all leavened with a pinch of cosmic incoherency.
