ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Buy seven inch and comic to satisfy Japanese noise rock craving, too!!! The Vapors is KKKKKK-Rippp-eZ!!!! Maybe you know Eye and Yoshimi from Boredoms, their other band.
FUN FACT(S): On an unprecedented television documentary focusing on the Japanese music scene, an extensive interview was conducted with Eye about his work. In the piece, Eye invites the TV crew into his apartment outfitted in Mount Shasta T-Shirt worn backwards (with the SKiN Graft logo facing front!). During the course of the interview, Eye shows off his "toy guitar featured on many UFO OR DIE recordings and shows off his unique creative process. He then invites the crew into his bathroom (where the FRUITCAKE "Patty Lane" 7" & comic set is proudly displayed atop the toilet), hops in the bathtub with a tape recorder and armful of goofy electronic gadgets, goes ape shows off how a song is made!!! The kicker - when the crew kicks back to listen to the tape - it didn't record!
Eye has changed his stage name three times, from Yamatsuka Eye, to Yamantaka Eye, to Yamataka Eye, and sometimes calls himself eYe or EYヨ. He also DJs under the name DJ 光光光 or "DJ pica pica pica" ("pica" means "bright" or "shiny"), and has used numerous other pseudonyms.

Bought the original pressing when it first came out and sold it to help pay rent. Have always missed it. Shellac playing AC/DC is worth it alone. octosette
A raucous adventure through noise, no wave, off-kilter DIY prog, and the absurdist side of post-punk from Pagan Athletes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 13, 2023
The racket avant-rock/noise group White Suns make is queasy and challenging, but with a taut sense of dynamics and composition. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 19, 2021
