Chatmonchy

Chatmonchy are three girls from Japan who rock. Playing raw, energy-infused, melodic rock music, Eriko (guitar and vocals), Akiko (bass), and Kumiko (drums) have been making a buzz all across Japan since their 2005 major label debut. Now, with their latest album, Hyoujyou - Coupling Collection (out on March 24th), they're ready to infect North American fans with their catchy take on girl-rock power. Following the first album, the rock-power girl trio released four singles that reached the Oricon Top 10, three that hit the Top 20, and four DVDs, which included music videos and passionate live performance footage. In addition, the single "Dai Dai" was featured as the theme song on the anime series Bleach - their first step toward connecting to a world-wide audience. Next, Chatmonchy hits SXSW 2010.  Also catch them at The Viper Room on March 27th.
