Biography | Profile
Formed in 1995 with Ryota "TOYIN" Miyahara (Drums&Percussion), Yuya "SEGUN" Matayoshi (Bass), Takeshi "DAYO" Yanagishita (Guitar) and Yuma "REMI" Serizawa (Keyboards) when they were classmates in high school.
The band properly commences its career in 2000.
They are a new generation of street jam band whose pop-orientated melodious sound sets them apart from other instrumental/jam bands, creating a buzz not only in the club scene, but also form young music lovers of all genres.
After playing all the major festivals in Japan - 'Summer Sonic' 'Rockin' Japan Fes' 'Metamorphose' - in 2008 they made a trip back to 'Fuji Rock' after 3 years and rocked over 5000 people headlining Field of Heaven, cementing their reputation as one of the few bands in Japanese music that has both deep music lovers and J-Pop listeners among their fans.
More recently, their 3rd full album 'PB', released on April 1st 2009, came in at no.10 on the Oricon weekly charts - a feat no other instrumental band has achieved to date.
