Novo Tono

The amazing super-group formed in 1994 by six musicians: the singer Phew, who since her debut as a member of the punk band Aunt Sally 20 years ago has been a legendary figure of the Japanese underground scene; Seiichi Yamamoto (guitar, vocal), of Boredoms and Omoide Hatoba; Otomo Yoshihide (turntables, guitar) and Masahiro Uemura (drums), both of Ground Zero; Naoko Eto (keyboards), active in a wide range of musical areas, from pop to experimental classical music; and Yusuke Nishimura (bass), who was a leading figure of the Tokyo punk scene as a member of bands such as Stalin and Machizo Machida's group. In 1996, Novo Tono released its first album, the indescribably strange pop work Panorama Paradise. It's still said that "they are now preparing to start work on their second album".
