BOOM BOOM SATELLITES

you may ask who are BBS well glad you asked.

BBS are a Japanese electronic music duo consisting of guitarist and vocalist Michiyuki Kawashima and bassist and programmer Masayuki Nakano. While their music can be mostly classified as big beat or nu skool breaks with heavy jazz influences, they are famous for the heavy usage of electric guitars in their music, and the final product often has a strong rock or punk flavor.

So think daft punk with more singing and guitars.

Now BBS have started to pick up more interest in the western world due to the unique style and the fact they Don’t sing in Japanese but in English.

I first heard BBS in Appleseed (who did the music for the movie) and again in Vexile then i just generally followed there releases.

Like Daft punk they have done a colab with fellow singers below.

I prefer the old Kick it out be you can be the judge.

  1. B.B.S. is probably one of the more unique acts out there. They make a huge effort in reaching out to Western audiences and it really shows. We did a interview with them back in November when they performed in NYC. You can see it at: http://blog.samuraibeatradio.com/2010/02/16/boom-boom-satellites-video-interview.aspx
