   About The Watanabes
Melodic, male and health conscious, we are a Japan based indie rock band, with members from exotic places like Belgium, Sweden, New Zealand and Norfolk. Initially emerging from amongst the orange trees of rural Ehime, since 2007 we have been performing and recording in Tokyo, enjoying the roar, while lamenting the lack of orange trees. And girlfriends. This summer we will be touring the UK, so anyone interested in playing with us over there, please get in touch!

INDEPENDENT SOCIAL POWER

Our debut album, recorded at KRH Studio in Tokyo and self-released at the end of 2008. Ten tunes, some pretty pictures and no nudity. You can pick up a copy from these great websites and recordshops.
