Tongchin Pechin Sanhe - Baby Mongoose

Formed in Tokyo in 2003, this five member band is a super fun amalgamation of lo-fi, new wave, garage and techno sounds.
Centered around three females , adorned in fetching military garb, they are stunning to look at and exciting to watch. Not merely a pretty package, their music reveals a keen sense of pop melody and revels in sonic invention.
Their vocal stylings and appreciation of kitsch recall the B-52's and Devo. The 80's flavor that resonates through their songs brings to mind Debbie Harry of Blondie and Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons.
Still, their sound is their own; distinctly Baby Mongoose. Multi-talented bassist "Shacho" ( President in English) has constructed unique and somewhat strange musical instruments , such as the "Action Guitar" from conventional music gear. These homemade hybrids as well as programmed backing tracks, adorn the bands accomplished musicianship and create a sweet honeymoon fusion of new wave, disco, and hard rock.
So, make way for the pico pico sound and loud guitar!!
Get ready for the most powerful techno rock attack straight out of Akihabara!!
This is Baby Mongoose!!!!
