BiographyMiaou were formed in 1999 by Tatsuki Hamasaki and sisters Mayumi and Hiromi Hasegawa.
Their debut album, 'Happiness' (Noon records, 2003), was quickly followed by a tour with Australia's Art Of Fighting . Their 2005 release, 'Make These Things Alright' saw Miaou develop their sound into an even more tuneful, dreamy version of instrumental rock.
That same year saw a tour with Canada's Below The Sea , with whom the band also collaborated with to record a split e.p., released on Preco Records , the label of Tokyo music store LINUS RECORDS .
2006 proved to be another busy and exciting year. Things started off with the inclusion of 'Grasslands' on the Where Are My Records compilation c.d., "Je T'aime", before the band headed into the studio to record probably their most distinctive, beautiful and accomplished material to date with the painted e.p. ( Thomason Sounds ). The e.p. was once again recorded by toe 's Takaaki Mino, who has produced all of their material to date.
The release of the painted e.p. was followed by a Japan tour with Thomason Sounds label mates Tracer AMC from Northern Ireland, as well as distributing their music through north america with Darla Records .Their third full length album, 'All Around Us' will be released by Thomason Sounds on July 18th 2008.
