DESCRIPTION:
zipper ~ camera / Akaten
from Japanese New Music Festival Europe Tour 2003

Formed by Tsuyama and Yoshida in 1995 with the motto of "irresponsibleness" and "perfunctoriness". They easily free themselves from the spell of the traditional seriousness of the art. Using dialy commodities like scissors, toothbrush, zipper, camera and plastic bottle as percussions, and shouting their brand names over and over as the "song", the show is performed under the concept of low cost and maximum sound effect. They simulate the wild bird songs and sumo live broadcasting; manpowered sampling, so to speak. Akaten is the experimental convenience store punk band that provides the sound images of cheap and simple dialy lives.
