J!-ENT’s Dennis A. Amith interviews BOOM BOOM SATELLITES (J!-ENT INTERVIEWS & ARTICLES)

October 30, 2010 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment

Absorbing both electronic and rock elements, Tokyo’s BOOM BOOM SATELLITES created a completely new and unknown sound; a sound that NME stated was “like The Prodigy fighting Underworld with bloody big sticks.” This sound not only established them as an exciting new band, but also boosted their profile as one of the most distinguished music producers in Japan.

The brain child of Bassist/programmer Masayuki Nakano and guitarist/vocalist Michiyuki Kawashima, BOOM BOOM SATELLITES have been combining distortion-drenched rock and punk guitars, with electronic dance music and heavy jazz elements to constantly evolve and refine their innovative sound over the last decade.

The band is currently touring the US and J!-ENT’s Dennis A. Amith had the opportunity to interview boy Masa and Michi before they began their US concert tour (October 2010). The interview also features photography by J!-ENT’s Nergene Arquelada and Masanori Naruse from their performances which include their recent Los Angeles performance, their FUJI ROCK performance and photos courtesy of Sony Music Japan from their New York performance.
