Neko Punch is the SF jpop alternative! Neko Punch mixes the pop stylings of japanese pop and mixes it with the ingredients of all cool music (80s new wave/punk, 70s rock/soul, and even hard rock). Neko Punch is cute, cool, sexy and can rock hard when it wants to and can be funky when it wants to. Most of the songs are originals, and more are on the way! Come experience the band live and see what it's all about! To quote our friends from QCJ, you'll get a "black eye" from the Neko Punch!
