Thee 50's High Teens are the best dressed vampire
band in Japan as well as one of the indie scene’s biggest
draws. They were born and continue to live in the Fukuoka prefecture
of Kyushu (southwest Japan). Lead singer Tomo founded the band
when she was only 16 years old. Now its ten years later and they're
still playing their unique blend of 60's garage/Group Sounds/70s
punk rock like four teenage girls. They are proud “Fukuoka
girls”, but are flown to Tokyo several times a month on
the dime of promoters who are desperate to put them on their bills.
Thee 50's High Teens have released two full-length albums in Japan,
the second of which, "Punch De Beat", is now available
in the U.S. courtesy of Tokyo No Records.
