((first president of japan)) Band Profile and Upcoming SXSW Concerts - Oh My Rockness

Written by Patrick McNamara

first president of japan is a rowdy DIY punk band from Brooklyn led by Non Kuramoto, who also happens to be a classically-trained clown (no fooling!).

Please get into this gloriously messy chaos at your very earliest convenience.

Start by blasting some noisy jams below.

And then go see them play!

(They are a theatrical and highly visual band so this last part is key.)

The Players:

Non Kuramoto (vocals) / Akifumi Nagae (guitar) / Yoko Sawai (bass) / Duncan Lockard (keys) / Zeev Banks (drums) / Mark Benjamin (video, keys, bass)
