JAPANESE NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL
European Tour 2008

In 1997,1999, 2003, 2005 and 2006 a set of performances aroused a storm of frenzy and shriek in
Europe, USA, China, Mexico... and they will be back with even greater power in Europe.
This time 3 musicians (YoshidaTatsuya, Tsuyama Atsushi and Kawabata Makoto) form 7 units!!
A cappella, comic free form, progressive core, troubadour, cosmic psychedelic......
You'll be experiencing the essence of all kinds of extremes in the current new music scene in
Japan on a single night.
Never miss it.

ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE SWR :
Yoshida Tatsuya (dr,vo) + Tsuyama Atsushi (b, vo) + Kawabata Makoto (g)
Acid Mothers Temple have rapidly become acclaimed as the greatest, most extreme trip psychedelic
group in the world.
Releases have appeared on labels around the world at an amazing pace, and the magnificence of
their live performances is already being whispered of as legendary.
SWR is the AMT Family's most powerful battle-formation yet.
Featuring Tsuyama and Kawabata from the original AMT and Yoshida from Ruins.
Their crushingly acute freakout sound will pulverize the world's legions of wannabe psych groups.

RUINS ALONE :
Yoshida Tatsuya (dr, vo, sampler)
Yoshida is one of the most innovative drummer/composer/improviser in Japan's new music scene.
Pioneer of Drum & Bass duo RUINS was founded by Yoshida in '85.
Tunes are complicated and mysterious, and songs are sung in the language of their own invention.
It's high-tension, wild, heavy, speedy, acute, and powerful tremendous ensemble never sounds like
they are only two players.
Now RUINS have no bassist and currently he has been playing as RUINS ALONE. Playing RUINS songs
with sampling bass.

ZUBI ZUVA X :
Yoshida Tatsuya (vo) + Tsuyama Atsushi (vo) + Kawabata Makoto (vo)
Eccentric poly-rhythmic a cappella ensemble.
It covers from Gregorian chant to ethnic music, to do-wop to hardcore screaming, heavily using
irregular rhythms and polyrhythm.
All sorts of ideas and aberrant musicality overturn the image of a cappella.
Their totally meaningless lyrics and desperate performances throw the audiences into the abyss of
the laughter and admiration.
It makes the concept of "singing ability"nonsense.

AKATEN :
Yoshida Tatsuya (vo, etc) + Tsuyama Atsushi (vo, etc)
Formed in 1995 with the motto of "irresponsibleness" and "perfunctoriness."
They easily free themselves from the spell of the traditional seriousness of the art.
Using daily commodities like scissors, toothbrush, zipper, camera, and plastic bottle as
percussions, and shouting their brand names over and over as the "songs," the show is performed
under the concept of low cost and maximum sound effect.
AKATEN is the experimental convenience store punk band that provides the sound images of cheap
and simple daily lives.

ZOFFY :
Tsuyama Atsushi (vo, etc) + Kawabata Makoto (g, etc)
Formed in 1998.
Zoffy's music hints both at the members' deep musical knowledge via their improvised performances
of troubadour music and European
trad, and also at their deep love for rock via their destructivist covers of classic rock songs,
that no longer sounds like anything but ZOFFY.
The group believes that humor is essential in music, and their unprecedented performances stray
far from the beaten track.
Is this the Ultima Thule that rock music has long been aiming for?

TSUYAMA ATSUSHI solo
Tsuyama is best known for his monster bass in Acid Mothers Temple, but he also has amazing
technique of guitar and vocal.
He has travelled around the world and accumulated the traditional styles of guitars/vocals in
europe and asia.
He adds his own interpretations and lyrical sense to create a beautiful but odd "fake traditional"
musical world.
Recently he developed a new figure called "prog.rock > blues-ization plan".
He dismantles the masterpiece of progressive rock, and restructures it as an impromptu blues.

KAWABATA MAKOTO solo
Kawabata Makoto is best known for his speed-demon noise-fuzz guitar in Acid Mothers Temple, but
he is also widely active as an unparalleled drone guitarist.
Drawing upon a huge reservoir of original techniques including metal glissando and bow-work that
can summon up the sound of a string ensemble or orchestra, his work in this area cannot be simply
categorized as minimal, drone or experimental.
You'll find it hard to believe that a single guitar can create sonic worlds of such meditative and
elegant depth.
