New York City (1994 – 2001)
Cibo Matto was a New York City-based band formed by Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda in 1994. Despite being based in the US rather than Japan, they have strong links with the shibuya-kei scene in their use of sampling and mixture of trip-hop and rock, but stand out amongst other such artist for their particularly strong use of Latin and South American music. Cibo Matto is an Italian phrase that means “crazy food”.
After working together in the noise rock band Leitoh Lychee, Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda formed Cibo Matto around 1994. While recording tracks for their first album, Viva! La Woman, they collaborated with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s Russell Simmons and others, on a side project called Butter 08. Viva! was released in 1996.
They later enlisted band members Sean Lennon, Timo Ellis and Duma Love to help record their Super Relax EP and final full-length album, Stereotype A. While Viva! had strong hip-hop and trip-hop elements, Stereotype leaned more more towards their rock, pop and latin side. The group continued to play live concerts until disbanding near the end of 2001. Yuka Honda went on to release solo albums and continued to collaborate with Sean, while Miho Hatori moved onto bossa nova, teaming up with guitarist Smokey Hormel to form Smokey & Miho, then joining the Gorillaz for their self-titled first album and eventually releasing her own solo album.

my problem isn't that STA is too different from VLW, it's just that it's so... 'ok' for these ladies. I like Miho's solo album much more than STA in fact. Well that's just becaue it's a sweet album.

The problem most people seem to have is getting used to the sound of Stereo Type A because it's such a divergence from Viva! La Woman. But I agree with Dead Dogs. STA is amazing in its own right. They're both great, they're just both different.
