    THE JAPANESE POPSTARS BIOG

    "They Might Also Be The Most Exciting New Electronic Act On The Planet" - Mixmag
    "Do believe the hype..." - IDJ Magzine

    VOTED BEST LIVE ACT @ IRISH DANCE MUSIC AWARDS 2009
    VOTED BEST ALBUM @ IRISH DANCE MUSIC AWARDS 2009
    BEST BREAKTHROUGH PRODUCERS - DJ MAG 'BEST OF BRITISH' AWARDS 2008

    The Japanese Popstars are riding a wave of great live gigs, major festival bookings, and media praise off the back of their amazing energy driven live shows and their critically acclaimed debut album 'We Just Are'.

    Native to Northern Ireland (any fetishists expecting cute Japanese girls can leave now), and consisting of Declan McLaughlin aka Decky Hedrock, Gary Curran, and Gareth Donoghue. The Japanese Popstars are signed to bespoke indie label, Gung-Ho Recordings (Gus Gus, Zoo Brazil) in the UK, and Beatink in Japan (home of Underworld, Aphex Twin, Cinematic Orchestra).

    The Japanese Popstars only parallel with rock music is that they'd built up a sizable live following before releasing their first major single - some might even say cultish, judging by the amount of clips on Youtube. Their gigs are typically raucous affairs, with an energy that crackles with each beat, chord, and keyboard stab.

    However, let's get one thing straight about the music - The Japanese Popstars aren't indie rave, or any other sub-sub-sub genre, theirs is big room, cool as f**k electronic music built for festivals and stadiums. They're not dance kids aping indie kids, nor are they indie kids dropping synths and calling themselves 'ravers'.

    Over the past eight months the band have remix the likes Beyonce, The Ting Tings, Shinichi Osawa, Pete Tong, The Music and Groove Armada, as well as taking thier energy fueled live show to many major clubs and festivals around the world!

    The Japanese Popstars - back to the future dance music for today, tomorrow, and forever, and it's coming to a field near you very soon.
