| Nisennenmondai means "Year 2000 Problem'' and is an instrumental Japanese girl trio from Tokyo. Visits to Tokyo by Lightning Bolt, Battles & No Age and others have unearthed these three girls with the mammoth sound. With song titles such as This Heat, Sonic Youth & Pop Group, one understand which musical territory the band comes from, and if you ad Black Flag, DNA, Neu! & Pere Ubu you are pretty close to Nisennenmondais sound. It's raw & repetitive (post) punk instrumentals, at the same time as they are wild groovy with a no wave/disco vibe to it. This is the first release outside of Japan & it contains the bands two EPs "Neji" and Tori" released as one album with new cover design by Kim Hiorthoy |
