KAWABATA MAKOTO'S O-MANDROID

Kawabata Makoto's latest project is called O-Mandroid.

O-Mandroid is Kawabata Makoto’s new trio with the Acid Mothers Temple drummer Satoshima Nani (voice, drums, sampler) and a great bassist Hamachang from a Kobe based post punk band BLONDnewHALF.
All music and words were improvised though, the sound is like composed psychedelic & progressive rock / late 70’s - early 80’s post punk / Japanese underground experimental, etc.

They just released their first album :

Joining original Mainliner members Kawabata Makoto (motorpsycho guitar) and Koji Shimura (drums) is new recruit Kawabe Taigen of Bo Ningen (bass/vocals) and the trio still kick up one hell of a sonic racket.
