Japan (1990 – present)
Boom Boom Satellites are an electronic duo formed in Japan in 1990. The band is made up of bassist/programmer Masayuki Nakano and guitarist/vocalist Michiyuki Kawashima. They also have a support member, Yoko Fukuda, who plays drums at live performances.
They first debuted in Europe in 1997 with their first single, “4 A Moment of Silence” which received rave reviews from such definitive European music magazines as Melody Maker, which compared their debut impact to those of The Chemical Brothers’ and The Prodigy’s. The band blends the energy of rock with the meticulousness of electronic music.
In 1998 the band traveled across Europe performing at six major rock festivals and opening for legendary electronic group Underworld. Right after their return to Japan, the band released their debut album Out Loud, which was later released in Europe and the USA as well. In 1998 the band embarked on a 3 month American tour with Moby. Their success was followed by releases of the albums Umbra and Photon, released in 2001 and 2002 respectively.
In 2005 and 2006 their fourth album Full of Elevating Pleasures was released in Japan and the US. They performed at the M3 Music Convention (Miami Music Multimedia) to further promote the album. In 2006, they released On which featured the hit singles “Kick It Out” and “Pill” featured in Japanese television commercials. Their subsequent performances at the Rock In Japan Festival and SUMMER SONIC ‘06 attracted such a huge crowd of people that it went over capacity and venue staff were forced to bar the entrance halfway through the performance for safety reasons.
