ガセネタ

ガセネタ (Gaseneta) is a more-than-legendary, peerless garage punk band from the late 70’s who can rival Les Rallizes Dénudés in terms of having the most influence on the current Japanese underground. Along with Les Rallizes Dénudés ガセネタ were one of the first Japanese groups to establish their own unique sound that took a huge step away from just emulating Western acts. Their frightening speed, flesh-melting, acid edge and total chaos were the original blueprint for High Rise (who clearly show their indebtedness by playing with ガセネタ’s members on a La Musica cassette) and a handful of others. Hamano Jun (guitar), Yamazaki Harumi (vocals), Osato Toshiharo (bass) - all were involved in many other minor-related underground projects at the time that helped shape a huge part of the current Japanese psych scene. The “Sooner Or Later” compilation (recorded in 1978, released by PSF in 1991) is ガセネタ's only widely available release that captures the group in full-blistering flow. Read more on Last.fm.
