Tokyo Taboo are heavily influenced by the 80's, retro styles, japanese culture (visuals, cartoons etc) bright colours, cool make-up and inspired by classic 80's music such as David Bowie, Eurythmics, Queen, Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Blondie & today's artists such as Katy Perry, Pink, Alanis Morrisette, No Doubt & The Ting Tings, the name Tokyo Taboo comes from there love of Japan and talking about taboo subjects stuff you know stuff you shouldn't say, i instantly liked them i love the fun-loving chemistry & their bubblebum pop/punk music personality this really represents their music as a whole, they are really passionate about performing, writing & being in the studio, at their shows prepare for a rollercoaster ride they own the stage they love interacting with their fans, you really are part of the whole experience as their infectious high energy bounces off them such a great feeling, Toyko Taboo get a real buzz from performing at their shows they really love the whole creation part of the music stuff (lyrics/melodies etc).
They have been featured on TV & Radio Shows such as The Chris Moyles Breakfast Show (BBC Radio 1), Must Be The Music (Sky1) & Louie Spence's Showbusiness (Sky1).
Their awesome choon 'Naked' showcases both the band's poppy, colourful & fun-loving side with the EP's bubblegum title track & a darker side with 'He Hit Me' & 'Sugar Lies' where lyrics such as 'I kissed him to get you/so you'd smell him on my skin' depict how fucked up a relationship can become, when all you want is to hurt each other rather than feel nothing at all.
The EP's cover depict Tokyo Taboo's front woman nude flying through the air suspended by metallic balloons i love the funky vibrant cover art for this EP very thought provoking it showcases the band's love all things crazy, colourful & the Japanese Visual's that they love they really embraced the whole theme & infused it into this piece of hysteric glamour as i like to call it.
