"...one of the storming triumphs of the festival - Japanese noise-rockers Bo Ningen. With curtains of hair swinging, they bit their guitars, climbed the tent mast and produced a sound somewhere between wolves and Nintendos..... -The Observer (Festival Watch, Offset 2009)

full announcement to follow soon, but this is quote well worth reading:-

'If someone in the 1960's had imagined ('Space: 1999' style) what rock and roll would sound like in 2009, Bo Ningen is what they would have heard in their head. The four Japanese Londoners are East Electric Psychedelic (the name gives some idea of what they're about) at The Cross Kings and it's the best gig I've seen all year. What with the profoundly cool, effortless onstage wig-outs and head-bending james, they are pretty much the consummate psyche band, while at the same time playing an updated J-Rock template that has elements of kraut-rock, metal, hardcore and funk scratched all over it. That might sound messy on paper but live the disorder is wrought into tight riffs that explode into transcendent a-tonal onslaughts without notice. In its obbession with repetition and the twisted patterns of its ungraspable musical narrative, the set has all the appeal of listening to Amon Duul, Can, Melt-Banana or one of the weirder nights at the Dalston Vortex, but they're the only band around that could capably straddle the words of a dazed double-spread and an ATP stage. It's a hundred times better than what's on their myspace page' -Loud & Quiet
