Zoobombs - Cheapo's, SXSW, Austin TX - March 19, 2011


[from Tokyo, Japan] and right after their earthquake… it was three youngish guys and one older miniscule woman in bell-bottoms - they started off with what I’ve come to expect from hard Japanese bands: tight and explosive – it was mostly fast and furious but, with some 60s keyboard, they strayed into some psychy wailing (almost Doors-like) and even a little bit of dance rock – the lead singer was fantastically dynamic: flailing, fixing his broken guitar string mid-song, mouthing the microphone – I didn’t like the keyboard/psych stuff too much but enjoyed that they ended their one-long-song of a set with a guitar wail and a group bow
