The self styled 'musical gangstars' from Tokyo, Asakusa Jinta have been variously described as a psychobilly punk hardcore Asianica marching brass band. Their music mixes rockabilly, punk, Japanese old sytle 30s pop, Klezmer, polka and Balkan brass band music. They play accordion, saxophone, tuba, double bass, drums, guitar, dress in Hawaiian shirts, outlandish hats and create a huge explosion of energy. Zero Sky is their latest album, causing quite a stir in Japan.
