ZOOBOMBS
is formed by Don Matsuo(conductor,vocals,guitar),Matta(keyboards),Moostop(bass)
and Pocky(drums) in Tokyo. They are a genuinely thrilling live unit, passionately committed and unafraid to put themselves on the line. Going down deep inside.....and to BOMB! Their refusal to accept obvious formulas, creative desire to continually shift and rapidly move forward has meant testing audience expectations and always appearing to be one step ahead of themselves. They are the "Next Successful band of the Japanese Next Wave".
The beginning of the story;
It was a full moon, when the band was established in September 1994. During the first week, the band quickly made 10 original songs, and dashed into the live circuit. Their performances were so energetic that the audiences were totally knocked down and frozen in awe. Soon the Zoobombs went to the top-line of one of the most exciting indie bands seen in the Tokyo underground. After they released four cheap album cassettes, the band contracted with Quattro/Ricetone label in 1996, and released three albums "SUPER FUNCY OF ZOOBOMBS"(1997),"WELCOMEBACK,ZOOBOMBS!!"(1997)and the masterpiece "LET IT
BOMB"(1998). (the band was featured in the top page of the New York Times introduced as the "Japanese Next Wave") In 1999,the band went to Virgin/EMI and released "BOMB FREAK EXPRESS"(1999),"DIRTY BOMB(2000)"and"Love Is Funky(2002)".
After releasing "New San Francisco"(2004)from P-Vine label,the Zoobombs did a North American tour in 2005, and got a feverish reaction. They were awarded the 2nd best performance of the Canadian Music Week Festival, and The Toronto Sun's Best Club Shows of 2005.
the article;
The supersonic Tokyo band somehow morphed from Stonesy punk-rock maniacs to
freaky jazz-rock jammers without missing a beat, or losing a tad of their
record-breaking intensity. Band leader Don Matsuo repeatedly risked
everything, pushing the audience to the brink with endless jams before
dissolving into a gloriously noisy release.(Toronto Sun,Dec2005)
Thanks for all your support! The show went really well at the Laugh Factory, and the turnout was great!
If you couldn't make it, I have uploaded to my profile seven ten-minute segments from this outstanding variety show featuring Old Time Music, magic, dance, comedy and fun!

[ENGLISH] Hi, my name is Clark Naito. I'm living in Tokyo, but I've never gone to London. and you? I make wonderful music everyday. Night&Day. Sometimes human makes mistakes, but Ihope you'll listen to my music. Stay tune to me.
Oh sure, you can play Canada but you can't come to the US. You should just make a little detour to Portland Oregon while you're on this side of the world. We're right next to Canada (sort of). Good luck on your tour, very exciting!!!
