Bio
........ Japanese avant-rock quartet Miso-soup began appearing in the East London area around 1999. Since then they have played over 300 gigs creating an underground phenomenon, attracting the likes of Damo Suzuki (ex-CAN) to play alongside them. Before playing a single gig they locked themselves away for 2 years, crafting and recording improvised noise in a building that used to be a chocolate factory. They are: Drummer - Keisuke Fujita, Guitarist - Masaki Hosotani, Trumpeter/Percussionist - Ken Iwasa and Bassist - Yuhi Nakano. Between them they have a broad range of influences from free jazz to acid folk, minimal improvised music to hip hop. Their's is a unique sound rather like Can playing Mahavishnu Orchestra. Progressive, diverse and inclusive. To see them live is to journey with them as every song veers like a drunken sailor between structure and improvisation, reflecting their initial motivation for making music; simply to enjoy it. Members of the group have worked in collaboration with various artists including Aya (OOiOO), Sebastian Rochford (Acoustic ladyland), Chika (The Plastics), Brown sierra, Dan Canyon (Bone Idols) and Kaori (Go team)etc. In 2006 they signed to Five man army(Japan), released their self-titled debut and toured Japan for the first time. Currently you'll find them locked away shaping up a new collection of songs. Tom Ravenscraft named Miso-soup one of the bands to look out for in 2008.
