Damnably presents Otoboke Beaver at Saint Lukes & The Winged Ox, Glasgow as part of their SUPER CHAMPON 2023 Tour w/ Drinking Boys and Girls Choir (Daegu, Korea). Otoboke Beaver are a punk-rock-garage quartet from Kyoto, Japan. Formed at Kyoto University’s music club, the band consists of Accorinrin (Lead Vocal & Guitar), Yoyoyoshie (Guitar & Vocals), Hirochan (Bass & Vocals) and Kahokiss (Drums & Vocals).
Acco's off-kilter self-taught compositional and confrontational performance skills, together with the band's incredible musicianship make for a thrilling and unmissable live act.
Damnably Records released the compilation 'Okoshiyasu!!' in March 2016, which was championed by Gideon Coe and Tom Ravenscroft on BBC6Music & John Kennedy on XFM. 2017 was a breakthrough year for the band, with attention from Pitchfork, NPR, i-D and The Fader and more, acclaimed debuts at SXSW and FujiRock Festival, a sold-out show in London's legendary 100 Club, and their ‘Love Is Short’ 7” charted in the UK for 4 weeks.
In 2018 the band's 'ATTYUUMA' tour saw them travel over 24,000 miles in a week on a brief UK tour that was bookmarked by slots at Coachella Music Festival. Recent converts include Tadanobu Asano, Aidan Moffat and The Cribs, the later describing them as "PUNK AS F*CK".
After kicking things off at the SXSW 2019 music opening party and a run of wild showcases, the band released new album "ITEKOMA HITS" in April on Damnably, receiving widespread acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, Stereogum, NYLON, BrooklynVegan and many more. They made their European debut at Lowlands Festival in The Netherlands, appeared as part of the line up at Koyabu Sonic Festival in Japan, and composed the opening theme song for Japanese comedy series “Susumu Inomata & 8 Mojo” broadcast on Kansai TV.
In 2020 the band were about to embark on a world tour. They completed a two week tour in Europe and were getting ready to start their first US tour when the world locked down due to the pandemic. With touring no longer possible during that time, the band worked on new music. In preparation for the release of their new album SUPER CHAMPON, the band are looking forward picking up where they left off and will finally be on their way to world domination in 2022.
Recent press
“sheer calamity and deliriously fun … recalls a lineage of patriarchy-scorching girl-gang shrieks, from the Slits’ ‘‘Shoplifting’’ to Bikini K*ll’s ‘‘Liar’’ and beyond.” Pitchfork
“Their Riot Grrrl attitudes and passion for noise-rock make them stand out as true renegades in the underground scene.” i-D
“takes in the history of Japanese punk and runs with scissors in hand towards the bonkers-noise of early Boredoms, Afrirampo’s uninhibited avant-punk, and the revved-up garage-rock of Shonen Knife... Punk is rarely this charmingly vicious.” NPR Music
“a rhythm-twisting, no-nonsense, Japanese girl gang more than worthy of an invitation into the riot grrrl scene” Stereogum
“vicious but tuneful punk-rock assaults’’ AV Club
“a wild, raging knockout“ The Fader
“Otoboke Beaver didn't need to go this hard! 9/10” theneedledrop
“The mixture of styles, both instrumental and vocal, is impressive.” Pop Matters
“for those of us who missed riot grrrl at its true peak, especially coming from a country known for its reserve and concern for presentation, it’s not too hard to imagine that this may have been what it felt like” The 405
“…It’ll blow your mind, dude. It’s the most fucking intense shit you’ve ever seen…” Dave Grohl
“The Japanese four-piece explain that dirty old farts are those guys on the internet who are certain that women on the internet are gagging to hear what they think about everything. Fortunately, thanks to Otoboke Beaver, they’re all dead now, slain by this perfect thrashing minute in which they obliterate “tenacious sulky troublesome ass” men. RIP guys!” Laura Snapes – The Guardian
