After a decade of squeezing gigs into the notoriously hardcore work hours OTOBOKE BEAVER quit (YAMATATTA) their day jobs to become professional touring musicians in 2020.

The YAMATATTA Tour see's them joined by labelmates 'Drinking Boys and Girls Choir' from Daegu, Korea.


Otoboke Beaver おとぼけビ～バ～ are a punk-rock-garage quartet from Kyoto, Japan. The band’s name is taken from a local ‘Love Hotel’ and they describe themselves as: “Japanese girls ‘knock out or pound cake’ band”.

The band consists of Accorinrin (Lead Vocal & Guitar), Yoyoyoshie (Guitar & Vocals), Hirochan (Bass & Vocals) and Kahokiss (Drums & Vocals).

Most recently after kicking things off at this year’s SXSW music opening party and a run of wild showcases, the band released new album "ITEKOMA HITS" in April on Damnably, receiving widespread praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Stereogum, NYLON, BrooklynVegan and many more. They made their European debut at Lowlands Festival in The Netherlands, appeared as part of the line up at Koyabu Sonic Festival in Japan.

Recent converts include Krist Novoselic, Tom Morello, Anthony Fantano & Superchunk.

Formed in 2013 when two drummers MJ and Meena shared a rehearsal space anddecided to form a band, Meena switched to Bass and guitarist Bondu (who had just finished his military service) answered their ad. They bonded over a shared love of drinking, skating and punk. Inspired by Daegu's 90s-00s hardcore punk/indie-rock scene before it moved to Seoul, a topic band are very passionate about. They won’t move to the capital, preferring to nurture a sustainable local scene. in 2017, MJ suffered a serious motorbike accident, so the band took a hiatus while awaiting her recovery. When she was fit again, they DIY produced their 18 track debut album“Keep Drinking” on Damnably/Electric Muse in 2019, followed by SXSW, TGE, LSC, Indie Rocks (CA) appearances and their debut UK tour supporting labelmates Otoboke Beaver & Say Sue Me. Bondu retired from the band following their UK tour, with Myorori Kang taking up the mantle of guitarist for the band.
