Formed in 1999 and active with the current lineup since 2003, this multi-instrumental band blends rock, jazz, noise, emo, improvisation, and cinematic elements in their music. They made their debut in November 2005 with their first mini-album, “perception of causality” (mastered by Mino Takaaki of toe). The following year, they released a split CD titled “sggmt!!” with good music! They have produced/participated in a total of eight works, including originals, live recordings, DVDs, and compilation albums.
With a focus on live performances, they have collaborated with Damo Suzuki, the vocalist of German progressive band “CAN,” in a 60-minute improvisational live session. They have also performed with PARA, featuring Seiichi Yamamoto (ROVO), Munehito Shimizu (Boaadamus, Urichipangun), and EXPE, as well as Tatsuya Nakamura and Yuji Katsui. Additionally, they have held two-man live shows with The World Heritage (Yuji Katsui, Mutsuki Nasuno, Mitsuru Yoshida), led by Yasuhiro Yoshikawa (ROVO, ONJQ), Vincent Atmicus, led by Yoshio “54-71” Hayakawa, and the twin electric violins band (Yuji Katsui, Fumihito Tamura, Yasuhiro Yoshikawa, Itsuki Masuko). In recent years, they have performed at OTONOTANI and Arabaki Rock Fest, and have supported tours for rega, nhhmbase, and Saxon Shore (US), among others.
In September 2008, they released their first full album in approximately three years. The album featured conceptual artwork by the talented creator Yu Hakoda, which generated considerable buzz as it was closely linked to the music. Their works have received high acclaim overseas as well. Currently, guitarist Taoka, who was initially a support member, has become an official member, and the band has returned to a four-member lineup, actively engaging in their musical endeavors. Moreover, band member Mikiko Naruse has a background of participating in string arrangements for ONJO, led by Yoshihide Otomo, as well as being a part of the backing bands for Kimura Kaela and ILL (formerly of SUPERCAR). She has also collaborated with Yuji Katsui in a duo project and performed with Hiro Michihiro and Koichi Makiue as a solo artist.
