MELT-BANANA is a band based in Tokyo JAPAN, consisted by Yako who sings and Agata who is playing the guitar. So far, they have been exploring music world, putting out 9 albums and more than 20 singles, taking a part in many compilations. MELT-BANANA’ s sound is pretty intense. And their music attracts people who are venturers of music and who desire to feel something from music and who just love music. So that, they also have many fans in musicians. Some people say that MELT-BANANA is a musician for musicians, but I don’ t think so. It is the fact that many of well-known musicians like MELT-BANANA, such as Lou Reed, Underworld, John Zorn, the TOOL, Mike Patton, the Melvins, the Wire, etc… But without such a distinction, anyone can enjoy MELT-BANANA if they have a passion to see the possibility of music…
“You cannot just listen to Melt-Banana; you must experience Melt-Banana”
A band who have justifiably been championed across the world, Tokyo’s MELT-BANANA have been responsible for some of the most complex punk rock ever made…. that far outshines ninety-nine percent of most other bands out there. The band once described their live show as “Shooting machine gun and laser beam, chaos in order”. And I think that pretty much sums them up.
