NOKEMONO

English Bio will be avairable soon!
NOKEMONO Profile 2008On the first day the God made rock, the world. On the second day the God made roll, the oceans. On the third day he made a drum. On the fourth day he made a guitar and on the fifth day he made a bass. On the sixth day he took a rest, tried to play a few notes on the guitars, banged away at the drums, and decided he wasn't much good at it. God then scratched his head and decided to do something about it. He fell asleep dreaming of the perfect rock 'n' roll band. On the seventh day god got up early and he made Nokemono. And a new breed or rock 'n roll wild animal was born. You can hear it now, a distant roar, like the hooves of a battalion of stallions pounding the Earth, in the distance you can see the dust kicking up, and then you see it for yourself. A strange bearded creature, who calls himself Ume, leading the charge waving a mike stand in the air and screaming in a parched desperate voice. Then there's dreadlocked rock 'n' roll warriors IXKXB on guitar and Yoshi-Woo on bass brandishing their musical weapons with intent, and flanking the fearsome Ume. And behind, walloping out the kind of dream beats that could drive any army into a pre-battle frenzy is the mysterious Nani creature, and when he flails so wildly you know he is half man and half giant squid. They charge toward you, but you don't run away. Instead you rock 'n' roll worshippers raise your glasses, let your screams be heard, and hail the saviors of rock 'n' roll as we know it. To free you from the bondage of insipid mainstream J-Pop and J-Rock. After the demise of Murahachibu in the early '70s this surely is the Second Coming right here in the Land of the Rising Sun. A hippie-punk nightmare from Hell? If you want it! Disco anarchists who aren't afraid to groove your rider? Well, yes! Will they scare your parents? You bet! Will you want to make love when listening to their records? The best sex ever even if you are scared that they might do a Sada Abe. But in the realm of your senses you can't beat the rock 'n' symphonies that Nokemono hold sacred. You may live on food and water, but Nokemono live on melody and noise. This is the ecstatic new noise coming out of Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. Ignore it at your peril. For it is coming to devour you.
