About Me

Ready for dessert? Pink Mochi is a sweet sticky rice dough often filled with ice cream but traditionally it has a sweet red bean dessert in the middle. This Pink Mochi however is filled with sweet sounds ready to be devoured. Pink Mochi is a musical output and friendship of Ai, Michael, Lisa, & Tim. Heavily influenced by experimental indie rock guitars, Japanese cannibals, and lots of food & drinks. All this and more comes through their hybrid-electronic-indie-pop-laptop-rock sound. Pink Mochi has been playing extensively in the Los Angeles area sharing the same bill with such bands as Devotchka, United States of Electronica, Apostle of Hustle, Boom Bip, Fog, the Movies, Whitey and many more great artists. Last fall they were on a North American tour with the world famous Suicide Girls Burlesque show."Named after the Japanese dessert this LA combo is sweet and exprerimental pop in a minor key. Recalling bands from the 4AD era and peers like Autolux and Stereolab"
- Myspace.com "Pink Mochi does not indulge in 20 minute-per-song electronic space travel. Instead the band strives to be pop and interesting rather than just experimental."
- Louis Kresline (Sushi & Tofu Magazine) "[Pink Mochi’s] stage shows are a loquacious mix of banter and Fashion 101 for the gathered crowds… But the most interesting thing about Pink Mochi – hands down – is its music. These tunes are not only thrilling, but absolutely delectable to those who are listening. As a group, Pink Mochi strives to keep fans guessing and make its music subversive and clever."
- Ebony March (Campus Circle Newspaper)
