Asobi Seksu is an indie rock/dream pop band which formed in 2004 in New York City, New York, United States. The band consists of Yuki Chikudate (vocals, keyboards), James Hanna (guitar, vocals), William Pavone (bass) and Larry Pavone (drums). The band’s name in Japanese consists of two words, “asobi” meaning “play” or “for fun”, and “sekkusu” the Japanese imported word for”sex” .
Their sound has been said to draw influence from the shoegazing movement of the late 1980s to early 1990s, which was coined to describe the textured and effects-heavy sound of alternative rock in that era.
Asobi Seksu released their eponymous debut album in 2004. The band regrouped with a new rhythm section for their second album, Citrus, which was recorded in Gigantic Studios, New York City with producer Chris Zane.
One Little Indian Records re-released the band’s first album Asobi Seksu and the follow-up Citrus in 2006.
The band changed its name to Asobi Seksu from the previous name, sportf*ck, when they signed to their current label.
According to the band’s official website “James and Yuki have almost completed writing songs for the new record and will be hitting the studio, once again with producer Chris Zane, this summer (2008). The new album will be released on Polyvinyl Record Co., the band’s new US label.”

It was "Red Sea" in Sheffield ( I assume it's the same throughout the tour). I was so happy they played it, it's my favourite track :)

does anyone know what the last song is they are playing on tour, the singer leaves and she gets on the drums, musically very Pale Saints live when she shuts up, very different live to on record! @pixielandjazz i wonder if this was noted because last night her voice was too loud, she sounded dreadful =/

Just wanted to say that I don't think that Hush is a disappointment at all. I think it's quite an enjoyable listen. All the way through.

It might have just been the venue, but I stood right up front when I saw them live and I could hardly hear the girl's voice. It's so light and high-pitched! I love their albums, but I was a touch disappointed with their live performance (only because she was so faint).

I left after they played in Brixton. Hell no annoying indie kids and getting stabbed.

I was REALLY skeptical at first....started off rather generic-indie but the more I listen the more I like these guys. DEFINITELY not generic.

only one i have is citrus, and it's tangy and delicious so you should probably start off with that

I've been meaning to check these guys out for a while. Any specific album that'd be good to start with?
