Melt Banana

Deep Ellum Art Company and At The Helm Presents: Melt Banana

MELT-BANANA is a two-piece band based in Tokyo, Japan.
The members are YAKO (vo.) and AGATA (g.).
To date, the band has released seven studio albums, two live albums, and two
singles collections. They have been performing together for more than 25 years,
and their range of work is pretty wide. They seem to be in so called underground
scene in japan such as noise music scene or hard-core scene, and at the same
time, they also played shows as support act for the Wire, Mr.Bungle, Fantomas,
Tool, MGMT, Napalm Death etc. , or, they took part in a festival curated by the late
Lou Reed at Opera House in Sydney, or they have friendship with various artists
like Mike Patton, Shellac, Wire, Mogwai, Karl Hyde of Underworld etc ... it is
almost kind of unidentified and quite bizarre for me.
They are currently finishing up track down for a new album and hope to release it
by the end of the year, MELT-BANANA did not have time to wait and decided to
start the "3 + 5" tour. They are scheduled to tour in the U.S. starting in May, as well
as in Europe and the U.K. by the end of the year.
New album release schedule will be announced shortly, and I am looking forward
to it to see the next step of their world.
