JAPANTHER:

Described as a "Performance Galaxy" by Vanity Fair and "Super hard, incredibly fast and overall inspiring" by Thrasher, Japanther has always been a band apart, running the gamut from performance art to punk rock and back again. Recent projects include Japanther in 3-D, a New York State Council on the Arts-funded book and film companion to the band's interactive rock opera, commissioned for the PER...FORMA 07 biennial and premiered with a sold-out run at P.S. 122, plus a collaboration with Dan Graham for Beyond, his first American retrospective. The story behind Rock 'n' Roll Ice Cream (Menlo Park Recordings, March 2) is an adventure tale of exploring harmonies, writing together, and a little bit of that West Coast surf vibe whilst lurking a bit towards Japanther's salad days in Brooklyn to draw on pop hooks and simple drum parts that make skating seem easier and bikes move faster. Japanther has performed at Automotive High School in Brooklyn (a community benefit to save students' imperiled production of Guys and Dolls), on street corners, in people's bedrooms, in historic concert halls, on boats, and the Williamsburg Bridge. Japanther is a party band that brings much more to the show.
