    MIKABOMB

    Mika Handa had a pretty clear vision - forming the coolest garage rock band ever to grace the world. They were to be called Mikabomb. Recruitment began almost immediately with Mika
    finding no shortage of similar minded Japanese garage stars hanging out in
    the darker corners of clubs and venues.

    This assorted band of determined young Asian girls (and a guy drummer
    ) started things rolling in 1999. This led to instant
    recognition. The band were championed by Radio One DJ Steve Lamacq and
    received rave reviews.

    In 2000, Mikabomb signed as the hard-hitting new stars of Beastie Boys label Grand Royal. Once again they were off plugging their singles "Super Sexy Razor Happy Girls" and "Heart Attack". Mikabomb fuse motown, New York punk, 50's garage and Japanese pop to form their distinctive, helter-skelter, distortion-heavy pop sound and once these Japanese girls are plugged into their outrageously overdriven guitars, they are more than a match for any number of sweaty punters in the audience twice their size.

    With the tragic demise of Grand Royal the album, "The Fake Fake Sound Of
    Mikabomb" was released through garage legend label, Damaged Goods Records.

    Through their short career they've managed to play with At The Drive in,
    Snuff, Bis, The Datsuns, The D4, Ten Bensons and Rosita (ex-Kenickie) to name a few. As a support artist they are in demand by the coolest bands in the world, having recently having to decline The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

    The future is bright. Mikabomb will go to the USA in 2003 (responsible for
    50% of the sales of FFSMB); they're currently working on a new batch of
    songs with new producers and shooting a video (by popular demand from a
    plethora of music TV producers). New material will be released in spring
    2003, by then you should be locking up your sons coz Mikabomb are coming.

    "The best band to ever come out of Japan"-Steve Lamacq.

    "Mikabomb's appeal is unintentional, but that's exactly why it's so
    appealing! Bonkers lyrics, Mental Oriental!!" KKKK- Kerrang.
