*About Marble Sheep* ←(our sound history's here, click!)
Marble Sheeps were founded in 1987 by Ken Matsutani, who's the ringleader of Captain Trip Records. First the band started its musical activity under the name of "Marble Sheep & the Run-down Sun's Children". The good old Marble Sheep passed through many styles of psychedelic jam like Minimal Music, Heavy Rock and Grateful Dead Sound, and left them as their musical compositions. After several years of rest, we were born again as "Marble Sheep". As shorter the band name became, we transformed straighter and stronger, and our sound developed into Space Punk Rock. The sound of two drums and bass, which forms the bottom of our heavy booming roar, the two guitar players who spread Psychedelic Seeds all over the world, and Marby-a sheep girl-who reigns as "Queen of Psychedelic Paradise". We always keep about the possessions of "Chaos & Paradise", despeite moving from one century to the next. It's just like "Yin & Yang"-the oriental concept of black and white -which govern the universe. The name of Marble Sheep highly esteemed overseas as fixture of japanese rock scene since early times. But we started our real overseas activity since 2002. In contrast with the long history of the band, Marble Sheep are described as "Merry Pranksters of the 21st Century". It caused by the merry and energetic live performance which can flip out even full-grown-ups and can take every listeners to the Space World easily. So, Eternal 21st Century Boys & Girls, we wanna be your Snappy Toys!!

My Interests

my hobbies are,
collecting sheep toys,
& playing with the sheeps.
writing nonsense things,
& reading alien words.

i loved driving around in country area,
but now it's all history.
i gave it up for beer,
so now i'm just walking around streets.

love to visit nice or new places or countries.
also love to go to concert tour with the sheeps.

kuruucrew
BATTLE DISCO!!!
Kuruucrew is another project of Marble Sheep's drummer Iwamotor. (Marble Sheep is the band led by the "ringleader" of Captain Trip Records and Mickey Guitar, Ken Matsutani.) In the beginning the project had a great number of sessions through and started its activity as "kuruucrew" for real in 2004. Kuruucrew has four members including a sax player and plays mainly in Tokyo. The rhythm section forms dance beats with strong and heavy grooves, and the interweaved sound of mysterious noise guitar and freak-out sax covers on it. They blend in each other excellently and make the sound one and only. Their style is really new and playing out "Dance Noise Music" unlike any other in the world. The addictive sound is described as "Burst Minimal Music" or "Violent Neu". After many experiences of appearance with Damo Suzuki, Marble Sheep, Keiji Haino and Melt Banana, the name of "kuruucrew" is now getting to be known throughout the underground music scene in Tokyo. The sprit-CD with Green Milk from the Planet Orange(from Tokyo) "kuruucrew vs green milk from the planet orange" was released by Beta-lactam Ring Records so far.
