History

The band was formed in 1991, while the band members were students at Tokyo's Meiji Gakuin University. They decided to create a band after going to a Kiyoshiro Imawano concert together in their early teens, and later drew influence from The Roosters.Their unusual name originated when a friend mispronounced the title on a cassette tape of an early jam session recording with cover songs of Thee Headcoats and from The Damned's album, Machine Gun Etiquette.

Their first major label release, Wonder Style, was released in 1995, and produced in London, United Kingdom, by Chris Brown, who previously engineered albums and tracks for Radiohead and Pink Floyd. The band was later spotted by The Brian Jonestown Massacre during a gig in Los Angeles.They were so impressed by the band that they told Alive Records owner Patrick Boissel about them, who then sought them out and signed them to his label. This led to the American release of Gear Blues in 2000.

The band announced that they would break up on October 11, 2003, after their Last Heaven tour of Japan. Around 2002, vocalist Chiba Yusuke and Blankey Jet City bassist Terai Toshiyuki formed ROSSO.

ああ、ただ心からありがとう

[jackhorkheimer]

The singer (and his voice) reminds me of a bird.

It's not bad but he's the least interesting member of the band to me. He's got good energy at least.

@AudienceKiller66 watched the movie finally, loved it.

[AudienceKiller66]

never seen the movie, just love the band.

[chacinluisalfonzo]

excelent singing, really clear and strong

[apsarajet]

Rank up with Mudhoney, Kiss (pre-77), Stones. It's a shame more non-American bands aren't in the mix.
