Profile
2005年、愛媛への来日を機に日本でのバンド活動を開始。The Smithsを連想させる、”ワタナベズ”というバンド名は愛媛で一般的な名字に由来している。2007年以後は東京を中心に活動中。The Smith やBelle and Sebastianに影響を受けたサウンドと、彼等の特異なバックグランドを表現した歌詞が混じり合い、ネオ・フォークとでも形容すべきオリジナリティを確立。またタイトな演奏と3人による 美しいコーラスが特徴的なライブパフォーマンスは、多くのライブイベントやデザインフェスタでも 評判を呼び、2007年には外国人バンドでありながら、Fuji Rock FestivalのRookie A Go-Go審査突破50 組の一つに選出、イギリスではBBCの新人特集、日本でも日本テレビやTime Outといったメディアに度々取り上げられる。2010年には日本人ドラマーを迎え、4カ国からなる文字通りインターナショナルバンドとしての活動を東京にて展開中。
The Watanabes are an international indie pop band performing and recording in Tokyo. They enjoy drinking banana juice together and are keen students of Ikebana. They have just released their second album 'You're dancing I'm absorbed' on Manchester based label BabyBoom Records. Recorded under the wise Glaswegian eye of music producer David Naughton (Belle and Sebastian, Teenage Fan club, Mojave 3) it features guest appearances from American folk pop singer Kate Sikora, and British indie Godfather Nick Duffy of The Lilac Time.
