Japanther Bio:
Part Screamers intensity, part Misfits anthemery, part RZA samples/beats and part Lightning Bolt art/freakshow, JAPANTHER is quite likely the most unapologetically artsy punk-related band since the early days of Sonic Youth, and not in the least bit afraid to get all conceptual 'n' stuff. Utilizing microphones fashioned out of old-fashioned telephone handsets, electronic hardware, cassette decks, a three-stringed bass guitar, and a drumkit, they're like a more playful and even more self-conscious updating of the late-'70s no wave scene, though a thorough rooting in the skatepunk scene as youngsters keeps things from getting too precious.
For the past seven years Japanther has baffled unsuspecting audiences and steadily grown a cult following. They've lived out of a van all over Europe, Australia, Mexico, Canada and the US, whilst working in museums on all types of "Art Projects." Synchronized swimmers, Illegal shows, marionettes and giant puppets have all been employed successfully again and again, all in an attempt to redefine what bands, groups and gangs can do.
"Japanther is one of the hardest fucking bands in Brooklyn right now. They sound like Iron Maiden, Throbbing Gristle, and Lightning Bolt gave birth to a squealing little baby with flaming guitars for arms. Their shows are chaotic and danger-charged lovefests and they are frighteningly dedicated to keeping it underground" - VICE
