Buddies since childhood, it took them until the year 2000 to decide to come
together and make some noise. Since then, Tokyo's own BBQ CHICKENS has been
appearing in the most unexpected of places.
Be it commandeering another band's show by suddenly showing up as the
opening act, or not so glorious TV appreances on MTV's "JACKASS".
Whatever the case, it is clear to all that BBQ CHICKENS are only in whatever
they endevor for the good time of it.
It seems that all things unexpected seem to follow this band wherever they
go and whatever they do. Literaly coming out of nowhere in August of 2001,
their debut album titled "INDIE ROCK STRIKES BACK" had gone on to sell in
excess of 85,000 copies. A feat virtualy unheard of for the debut of a
short-tune, goofy, punk rock band. More unexpected feats quickly followed,
in particular winning "Best Alternative Video" during the 2002 Space Shower
TV Music Video Awards.
More good things in 2002 was the band releasing their second effort titled
"GOODBYE TO YOUR PUNK ROCK". This saw BBQ CHICKENS mature as a unit as the
songs came across tighter, stronger, harder and smarter.
Once again, in 2003, in yet another unexpected move the band released a complete album of covers. The idea of releasing a complete album of covers
is not so unusal, as is the selection of most unusal songs to cover.
What can we expect next from a band that is just so damn good at pulling off
the unexpected?
