About the Band

THEE 50’s HIGH TEENS

Attired in mod fashion à la Twiggy and sporting perfectly coiffed 60’s hairstyles, this girl group’s appearance hides the screaming garage rock banshee they become when they step out on stage! Being from Fukuoka in southern Japan doesn't stop them from frequently flying to Tokyo to play Back from the Grave events and other garage, Group Sounds and rock ’n’ roll parties.

Members (on Live In Kyoto-Tokyo 2003):

Tomo - Vocal & Bass
Honey - Guitar & Screaming
Kei - Organ & Screaming
Ricca - Drums & Chorus

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

Known for giving one of Japan’s most tantalizing performances in the garage rock circuit, this collection of live tracks from Kyoto and Tokyo captures all the screaming, the organ blasts, the fuzzed out solos, the dance party beats... did I mention all the screaming? "Haunted Beach Party" appropriately opens the album with a frightening barrage of climaxing organ and ghastly screams. DAVIE ALLEN fuzz guitar is ever-present and often interweaves with the organ musings on songs like "Dance Little Sister" and "Surprise Surprise." Drawing on Japan’s own Group Sounds movement of the sixties are classic sounds found on "AEBA SUKI SUKI" and "Let's Go! Jan Jan." Girl group, garage, Mod, surf, GS... THEE 50’s HIGH TEENS cover the sixties spectrum. This album is recommended for those who discovered bands like Guitar Wolf, 5678’s and the Pebbles and want more.
