MontBlanc
www.myspace.com/montblancband
In Japan, the best things come in twos. Formed in the womb but formalised in 2008, Japanese
duo MontBlanc mix electronica with live instruments (and sometimes a backing band) to create
an eccentric style.
Identical twin brothers Gen and Dai ooze an infectious fervour that has seen their party-starting
live act spread to venues all over Tokyo, and the fresh vibe of their recordings belies their studio-
based creation.
As children, Gen and Dai were raised on their parents’ record collections ? The Beatles were a
household favourite, as well as melodic Japanese pop artists such as Kyu Sakamoto. They later
discovered electronic music and skate culture, with influences ranging from RJD2 and LCD
Soundsystem to Beck and Modest Mouse and an affinity for Manchester acts like Joy Division.
The pair formed bands in high school, but later, in 2008, decided to make music together as a
duo. They write songs individually and then arrange them together in their Tokyo home studio,
performing at clubs and venues as a twosome or with a band.
It is a COOL FOREIGNERS AWARD at 2010/10/27. "ITC (UK music festival)."
