Nanashi

Life Carbon - the opposite of Death Metal

About Me


Arrrghhh, I hate writing these things. So I'll keep it quick and to the pointless. We're Nanashi, a "band" from Stockport in the Northwest of England. Not quite Manchester, so we instantly lose cool points by default. Comprised of two brothers, Neko and Nezumi. We're sick of all the current musical fads and scenesters so we try to rebel by making these musical abominations....
We started jamming in our little garage and recording 4-track cassette demos together in summer 2005 as a side project from various metal-ish rawr! bands but because we're so lazy, we haven't really done a great deal since then. Hopefully we'll get some more songs written and get back onto the live scene, where the most fun can be had!

FAQ
Nanashi means 'Anonymous' in Japanese! Neko means 'Cat' and Nezumi means 'Mouse'. I just thought they were cool stagenames! :)
