---------------------------------------------------------------------- Live review 27/ 05 / 09 at "Far East Electric Psychedelic" at the Cross Kings
If someone in the 1960's had imagined ("Space: 1999" style) what rock and roll would sound like in 2009, Bo Ningen is what they would have heard in their head.....(check the rest of the article in a hard copy of the magazine, which you can pick up from shops such as Rough Trade and all good venues.)
-----Loud and Quiet
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bo Ningen's EP is a loud, glorious serving of Japanese progressive-punk that threatens to blow your head off with its raging twists and sweeping turns. It's like having your brain massaged from the inside - it makes your nerves stand on end but also soothingly fucked up
"

A tough one to describe this; the four skinny Japanese guys combined big hair, big guitars, catchy riffs, socklessness, a pinch of insanity and some fine songs to create a simply mesmerising set that has the attention of everyone in the theatre.
The emotion of the tracks is portrayed brilliantly by the group, led by a sockless young gent who looks like he could possibly snap in two at any moment. A great set of emotional and dynamicrock snowballs to an explosive conclusion, think jumping, climbing, teeth supported guitar antics and a huge boom of noise.

"...one of the storming triumphs of the festival - Japanese noise-rockers Bo Ningen. With curtains of hair swinging, they bit their guitars, climbed the tent mast and produced a sound somewhere between wolves and Nintendos....Best discovery: A tie between Bo Ningen and Wetdog. -The Observer (Festival Watch, Offset 2009)

"Psychedelic" is to stand quietly/loudly in the middle of interzone and stare at both sides at once.
