About:
The first trio formed in 1996 including two brothers -the drummer Daisuke and
singer/guitarist/songwriter Kyohsuke-, under the influence of The Beatles, XTC and
Dinosour Jr, their initial emotion sounded like alternative rock loudly distorted with BigMuff.
With several demo-tapes and participation to some compilations, they kept playing
shows around Tokyo constantly.
With one-year suspension by Kyohsuke's visit to Canada in 1999 and through some
changes of the bassists, their self-made "LAST FRONT EP" was out in 2002.
About that time another guitarist Shiokawa had joined.
In 2003, the quartet -w/Yoshinori Kanemoto on bass- released 1st full length 9:40pm
from SitffSlack, the independent label based in Nagoya.
Now it's distributed in US by 54'40" OR FIGHT! and in Spain by BCORE.
In the next year, the bassists changed again and Jun started supporting from the
Japan tour of 31Knots which Balloons hosted.
May 2005 saw their first tour in US.
With Taking Pictures of Chicago in some shows, the band played 12shows in 2 weeks
around MidWest/EastCoast.
Back in Japan, newest stuff 3dep was out in June.
During the summer, they did several expeditions nationwide supporting the ep, including
the tour with Traindodge from Norman,OK. in July.
On February 2006, Balloons committed a short tour and shared a couple of shows with
31Knots again.
And in April, they hosted HaymarketRiot's japan tour and had a really really great time
together with these Baka Gaijins -crazy stupid americans!!!.
In 2007, after the hardest struggle on recording in May/June,
their 2nd full length named "451 deg F" has finally been completed.
Aug 8th is the day.
More details are updated on ourMySpaceBlog
