| Boom Boom Satellites Announce Confirmed US Tour Dates Genre bending Japanese Rock-Electronic duo Boom Boom Satellites announce confirmed US tour dates in support of their best-of album Over And Over now available digitally. Absorbing both electronic and rock elements, Tokyo's Boom Boom Satellites created a completely new and unknown sound; a sound that NME stated was "like THE PRODIGY fighting Underworld with bloody big sticks." This sound not only established them as an exciting new band, but also boosted their profile as one of the most distinguished music producers in Japan. The brain child of Bassist/programmer Masayuki Nakano and guitarist/vocalist Michiyuki Kawashima, BOOM BOOM SATELLITES have been combining distortion-drenched rock and punk guitars, with electronic dance music and heavy jazz elements to constantly evolve and refine their innovative sound over the last decade. It's not only music fans who are captivated with their mind blowing live performances, their music has also caught the attention of prominent anime film creators and Hollywood motion picture producers. A number of tracks from the group's album, Full of Elevating Pleasures, contributed to the soundtrack of the CGI anime film Appleseed. "Easy Action" was included on the soundtrack of the mammoth anime film Vexille. Their tracks "Scatterin' Monkey" and "4 A Moment of Silence" from their first album Out Loud, were featured in the film The Dark Knight and "Shut Up And Explode" became the opening theme song for the PlayStation Store exclusive and later television anime series Xam'd: Lost Memories. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
