Hanatarashi (Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning "sniveler" or "snot-nosed" in Japanese, was a noise band created by later Boredoms frontman Yamantaka Eye in Osaka, Japan in 1983. The other core member during the early years was later Zeni Geva drummer and Boredoms co-founder Ikuo Taketani.[1] After the release of the first album, the "I" was dropped and the name became "Hanatarash".
They used a variety of unusual noise-making objects, including power tools, drills, and heavy machinery.[2]
History
Hanatarash was formed by Yamantaka Eye, Taketani Ikuo[3] and Mitsuru Tabata (Zeni Geva guitarist) in 1984.[4] From 1985 onwards, the band released three self-titled albums.[5]
In 1989, Ron Lessard of RRRecords released a Hanatarash demo cassette on vinyl without waiting for the master tape Eye intended to send. This misunderstanding, due to cultural and linguistic differences between the Japanese musician and the American label, became legendary among fans.[3]
The band ceased operations in 1998.[5]
Live shows
Hanatarash was notorious for their dangerous live shows. Some of the band's most infamous shows included Eye cutting a dead cat in half with a machete,[5] strapping a circular saw to his back and almost cutting his leg off, and destroying part of a venue with an excavator by driving it through the back wall and onto the stage.[3][6]
Hanatarash was quickly forbidden from performing at most venues.[3]
Music style
Hanatarash is affiliated with the Japanoise scene.[3][5] They use a wide range of incongruous objects to make noise, including power tools such as drills and large construction machines.[2] Despite the spectacular brutality and chaos of their performances, the noise produced by the destruction of unamplified objects is often drowned out by the cries of the audience.[3]
