thatta

Making the most of Japan’s musical environment, thatta’s influences run freely across music from the U.K. and the U.S. by the likes of madchester and 90’s U.S. alternative. Thus, thatta is a Japanese band that transcends the idioms of the Japanese scene.
With three synthesizers on stage being their trademark, thatta is known for their fearless and frenetic live performances, mainly playing in the Tokyo area with the odd music mission down to the Kansai region. The band also has plans to book a few tour dates in New Zealand for the end of the year. Thatta have just release their first mini album 'Viva la Majority', which features crowd pleasing tracks such as  Penetration and San Francisco.
