NISENNENMONDAI
On the Electrical Audio forum today another user pointed out the existence of the band Nisennenmondai to me. Now that I've watched these youtube videos of them (see below) I couldn't be more thankful for that person for posting! This band, made up of three women from Japan and whose name means "Year 2000 problem," fucking rock.
It's extremely repetitive stuff (fans of OOIOO and recent Boredoms will like this fact, I'm sure) that evolves into full-blown noisy calamity (compared to No Wave, Sonic Youth, BATTLES, Lightning Bolt blah blah blah) but they do it in such a fashion that it's packed full of great energy and amazing musicianship ie NOT BORING AT ALL. As it turns out, they're signed to Smalltown Supersound in the West with two releases under their belts already for them, a CD reissue of their first two EPs "Neji/Tori" and a second CD called "Destination Tokyo" that doesn't have info about it on Smalltown's website. I'm going to the record store today to see what I can snag. HUZZAH!
