About the Band

SPOOKEY

Shades of new wave, bubblegum punk and girls in the garage, SPOOKEY are a carefree trio of Japanese girls decked out in 80's punk fashions. They've toured the UK & Europe several times often playing with classic bands like THE PEACOCKS, THE BRIEFS and THE DAMNED! And they've been fittingly matched to open for NIKKI CORVETTE in Japan. After releasing their first CD on Killer Records, SPOOKEY went on to cut a mini-album called Cheeky Girl and a second full-length titled Shakin Pop'n Roll. Wot you say?! This band is CAPTAIN SENSIBLE approved!

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

SPOOKEY's first releases created a shakin' fury across Europe where this trio of Japanese girls is a well-known punk phenomenon. Well, Shakin Pop'n Roll will not disappoint those familiar with the band and will surely gain them new dedicated fans. On the first track, "Rock 'n' Roll Summer Beach," cutie vox calls out "Hello Hello!" inviting us to enjoy sunshine and surfing fun. More NIKKI CORVETTE influenced girl group tunes with jabbing punk guitars follow. Occasionally, 80's new wave beats and bass lines creep up like on "help me" which calls THE GO GO's to mind. Also included is a real bubblegum pop treat, the misnamed "Banana Splits" is actually the infamous cartoon theme THE DICKIES had a hit with in 1979! On their latest album, SPOOKEY take all kinds of garagey, girl punk goodness and smash it up!
