MAMA presents

Tokyo Taboo Celebrate the release of their long awaited EP 'Leech' (06/11/15)

After months of writing and recording new music in Los Angeles, California with producer Noah Shain (Dead Sara, Orson), Tokyo Taboo are ready to unleash their new sound on the world.

In an online interview the band cited a wide array of eclectic influences from The Cure, Led Zeppelin, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Dead Weather to nineties No Doubt and kitsch Heart, Roxette and Madonna. TT work to combine the best elements of pop and rock with dirty guitars, authenticity and bags of attitude.

In an industry increasingly reliant on live shows as an income stream this band really do cut it on stage. Mike is the band's anchor staying routed playing his heavy riffs whilst Dolly bounds around the stage in her usual unhinged style.

The band's live set is upbeat energy, brim full of the adrenaline that every adrenaline junkie craves.

'When Karen O exploded onto the scene her style bamboozled people, and we’re getting that vibe from London’s Tokyo Taboo. Sonically they’re a mixture of the White Stripes and bubblegum pop, , with new single ‘Bubbilicious’ knowing it’s way around a popular chorus. It is a brilliant song. ' Supa Jam

'Attitude by the bucket load, great hard driving catchy adrenalised guitar pop blend. Splendid!' Music Now

'Have you ever imagined Die Antwoord, the B52's and the Offspring performing together? I never did either, but that is the only description that comes close to describing the sound of Tokyo Taboo' Audio Fuzz
