Artist Info
The Mootekkis
"The Mootekkis represent a kind of eternal present in rock'n'roll - a timeless zone of ripped t-shirts, Converse sneakers, black jeans and daydreams. More specifically, their debut EP shows the Tokyo five-piece...straddling territory somewhere between classic punk, hard rock and Libertines-style UK retro garage rock. They do it in style, with a boozy, loose feel that makes almost palpable the crush of bodies in a dark live house..." Dan Grunebaum, Metropolis
The Mootekkis is a five-piece hard rock band formed in Tokyo midway through 2008 and is made up of one Australian, one American and three Japanese guys. Relying largely on their instruments and the linguistic enhancing powers of beer to communicate, The Mootekkis have combined eastern-style proficiency with a wild-west mentality to create an outlandish kind of rock'n'roll.
In just their second year together, The Mootekkis were featured on the front cover of Japanzine after winning the magazine's nationwide Battle of the Bands 2010 competition with their no-holds-barred rocker "Hey...What You Want?" This song also launched The Mootekkis onto JIN radio and appears on their debut 6 track EP recorded in October 2010.
With a late 2010 schedule that has included an appearance at Japan Music Week and an interstate trip to Nagoya, you can rest assured that 2011 is going to be a big year for The Mootekkis juggernaut.

19 Mirrors is a band dedicated to bridging the gap between cultures. Composed of a rogue Star Goddess, Martians, and Humans, they feel that cultures should be at once respected and dissolved into a form that allows us to finally put our resources to good use: namely, the pursuit of interstellar space travel.
Hannah Hypnotic, the foremost authority on space travel, as a Star Goddess, is here to enlighten Humans and bring them together, kicking and screaming.
Embrace your culture, but reject is..
