Nisennenmondai - "Tori" ep

I saw these three ladies from Tokyo play last night at the Elbo Room, and my ears are still screaming at me for putting them through such enjoyable torture. Despite mid song equipment issues, Nisennenmondai left me stunned, but before I knew it they were saying goodnight. I was ready for more when they walked off stage. Hopefully next time they visit the states they will be headlining their own tour. Nisennenmondai will definitely test your listening ability... you'll either hate it or love it. Either way, the drummer (besides being hotter then fire) beats her kit like a red headed step child. The girl is buff. Their sound is similar to Yoko Ono's "The Plastic Ono Band", but with a lot less crazy lady screeching and more guitar-rock experimentation. Good stuff. Listen to "Baikawa" from their three song, plus one hidden track, ep "Tori" and be amazed (or confused). You should check out their WEBSITE while your at it.
