Tadzio are a noisy two piece. Leader sings and plays the guitar, Buccho plays the drums. They were the first band that I saw in Tokyo for myself, so I will always think of them fondly, and remember rushing from my university English job on the Commuter Express to try and see them. Tadzio sound a little bit like Comanechi, but Tadzio are more noisy and interesting.
I've seen them maybe 4 times now, the best was when the played in a NHK radio studio. The concert was being recorded in what looked like a opera house for possible later broadcast. The audience were a bit strange. All appeared to be over 50, perhaps they were friends and family of all the other bands playing the show. The band before all had songs called "I wanna be your Beatles" and were so cute and horrible... Tadzio came on and made what seemed like a wall of noise that killed 10 people, and gave another two heart attacks. Everyone was cowering in their seats until Leader announced something like, "this is a rock show, please stand up" - and everyone did. I felt like I had watched something important, but my Japanese was too bad to explain what I wanted to say.
Later, I tried to explain about my time living in Joe Meek's house. Again, my Japanese failed me, but Leader drew this picture...
PS. Just as I uploaded the picture, we had an earthquake. I hope it's not some sort of omen!





Tadzio are looking to tour the UK after they have been to SXSW festival. Do you know anyone who could help them?
