Discription
Formed in Osaka in 1993. A Godfather band that boasts absolute charisma and prominence in the Kansai Seoul scene. The style that “Sad Phantom” and Hachihiro Ando (vocal) sings a unique world view on the thick groove centered on Soul Blues Funk is said to be unique.
In particular, the overwhelming staging in line with the social manner that four people unfold is a must-see.
Sometimes a cloak show, sometimes bloodshed from the forehead, and sometimes a mackerel dances on stage (!?).
Such a live show was also shown at the Fuji Rock Festival (04.06.2009), and after responding to three encores, applause did not stop and the performance stopped.
So far four albums, two 7-inch singles and two documentary videos have been released. He has been a member since 2011, when he was 18 years old.
