tokyo pinsalocks BIOGRAPHY
Since their 2000 inception in Tokyo, tokyo pinsalocks have released six albums and mini-albums, creating stripped-back, psyched-out pop that does grand justice to the band’s heroes Kraftwerk, Bjork and Super Junky Monkey, and won them fans including the members of Devo.
The trio’s August 2009 release, ‘Travelling Spoon’, was produced by Shunichi Miura (Uchoten/Kera And The Synthesizers) and takes new-wave rock to wild new limits, as trippy microKorg melodies and distorted basslines combine with fresh beats to create something both deliciously poppy and hard as nails.
In February 2007 they got airborne, exploding onto stages around the US and UK. So far their overseas shows have included New York’s Knitting Factory, the 1,000-capacity Anime Boston expo, UK festivals The Great Escape and Liverpool Sound City, and many others.
In Japan, they run their own series of live events, Spoon Market, which bring together the cream of female Japanese artists; live guests have included HalCali, Nirgilis and Motocompo, alongside rising visual artists and fashion designers. Other domestic shows have featured Sapporo’s revered Rising Sun Rock Festival, and the band’s October-November 2009 Japan tour will take in the entire span of the country, culminating in a one-band show at Tokyo’s renowned Club QUE.
“Tokyo Pinsalocks are the Daughters I Never Had” - Jerry Casale (DEVO)
“Tokyo Pinsalocks prove that a little playful experimentation can produce pop music with both brains and soul” – Metropolis
“Amazing Japanese electropop act” – Peter Robinson, Pop Justice
“tokyo pinsalocks sound, if we're making crass comparisons, a bit like The Knife if they were from the Japanese capital and learning to fly space rockets” – PlayLouder.com
“A first-class package of groove-led pop magic with mashed-up vocals, warm rhythm instruments and electronic leanings” – David Harrison, Music Towers
“This band is exciting proof of the Japanese rock’n’roll invasion of America to come” – Devo cohort Robert Miltenberg
“tokyo pinsalocks offer tripped-out psychedelic pop that recalls Jane’s Addiction and Lush in equal parts” – Disorder Magazine
“‘rhythm channel’ reminds me of the freshness, inventive fun and energy of The Sugarcubes (with Bjork)’s classic CD ‘Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!’” – Albert Fox, film/TV/videogame/commercial composer
“Keyboard-led pop sensation tokyo pinsalocks play danceable, rhythmic pop with nary a guitar nor agenda in sight” – Neo magazine
“Sugar sweet, simple and occasionally Bjork-esque lyrics accompany a grimy but tightly skilled rhythm section that blasts from the PA with the fervor of a super-hero video game” – eGigs
