Boom Boom Satellites - OVER AND OVER - US TOUR 2010

My favorite Japanese electric rock duo "Boom Boom Satellites" had toured around the east coast and the west coast in October, 2010.

I have been a their fan since 1999. I still remember when I first listened to their album "Out loud", it was quite shocking experience because at that time, what I listened to was techno music from mostly UK such as Underworld, Chemical Brothers, and Daft Punk. But their music was completely different from typical Japanese music scene, and much more sophisticated, unique, and worldwide. In addition, they have created all songs in English. That's unusual in Japan. I was hooked on their exciting and cool music right away.

Their debut was also unusual. They released first album from R&S records in Belgium, and then re-imported to Japan.  


BBS has introduced many style of music, such as rock, techno, industrial, rave, break beats,hip-hop, jazz, gospel, and so on. 
I had a chance to see their live performing at a small club "Wonder Bar" where Bruce Springsteen used to play in Asbury Park, NJ and "Best Buy Theater" at Times Square, NY. They did really awesome shows, and I was totally blown away. After the show, I had a chance to talk to them. It was a great night. I hope they will come back soon.
