Voluntary Mother Earth was formed by Aki (Akihiko Hayakawa; g,vo) and ShonMage (ex-dr) in Denton, a small college town in Texas, in the fall of 2004. To be exact, it was formed when ShonMage asked Aki “Are you Japanese?” in Kharma Cafe, a local coffee shop. In the small but creative community of Denton, it was not very difficult to find a good keyboardist. Katsu Hosoe (ex-key) joined the team.
It was, however, next to impossible to find a solid bass player. That’s when they said, “Shit, White Stripes has no bassist, either. We can do it, too” and started rehearsing. It was not long before they found a very unique addition to the band, though; it was Billy White, the drunk Inuit dancer his-self.
They started playing local shows, and quickly created a buzz around town. People kept coming to their shows. Their first CD “Voluntary Invasion” was well received in the local Denton scene.
Miracle Itself Comes Down from Heavens
When they played their first Dallas show in August 2005, a miracle happened. When they started their set, the club was nearly empty, except for a 5-person crowd consisting of members of other bands playing that night.
It was during the third song of their set when the aforementioned miracle itself came down from heavens. All of a sudden, a herd of people began flooding into the place. By the end of the song, the band had a crazy dancing crowd of 50 people. After the show, people came rushing to them and asked vigorously who on earth they were.
