They’ve swung through Eugene once since I’ve lived here, but I was unluckily out of town. They’re currently list as “coming soon”… so, if you’re one of the ones who wants to get a blue marble vinyl, keep your clicker finger warmed up.

The vinyl’s first pressing is limited to 1,000 copies (200 on blue marble vinyl, 200 on mixed vinyl, 600 on black vinyl) and includes a download card for MP3’s of the record. The CD is packaged in a 3″ cardboard jacket. Three songs were recorded in early 2008, and it allegedly picks up where their 2007 album Bambi’s Dilemma left off. They’ve got a new 3″ CD / 7″ vinyl coming out called “ initial t.” on Init Records. MxBx are the Japanese noise metal cousin of Fantômas so the split single as a marketing tool worked… I was hooked on Melt Banana. So, I got into Melt Banana (aka MxBx) when they put out a 5″ vinyl / 3″ CD split with Mike Patton’s Fantômas back in 2005 called “ Animali in Calore Surriscaldati con Ipertermia Genitale / Cat in Red” on Italian label Unhip Records.

They’re also working on a new album, out in 2012. from now until late November! Catch them ( dates below). It’s one thing to hear this band on record, it’s quite another to see them live. The drum & bass battery ( presumably Takiya & Rika) propelled the blasts of music forward. Yako was a sandstorm of power and unexpectedness on vocal duties… and charming in between songs. Not so this time… and I made it there just in time to catch their blistering set.Īgata shredded up the guitars, making dental exams seem pleasant. Their last time through Oregon, the Tokyo-based screamo/noise metal band didn’t stop here, and the freezing rain & severe winter fog kept many Ducks who wanted to trek up to Portland away. tour with an initial stop at the WOW Hall in Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday. Melt Banana started off their two month U.S.
