-- Who?
-- Check the title of the page.
-- Ah!

Here are tiny pages for each of their four albums -- plus at least one indie release their label (Parlophone) doesn't seem to acknowledge:

Inuni Kuwae-Sasero -- hmm. Where's the cd gone?

Freeway

333

Hello! Feed*Back

Funkasy

 

Some links and stuff about the band:

• SBD's own website (Japanese) You can listen to some of their tracks here. I've also seen them on N*pster. No, it wasn't me. How superb is that? Some guy in Japan is downloading Marvin Gaye and the Stax Records back catalog and he's giving people a chance to hear SBD. Mmm.

  Their website has been updated recently, GO! New single, that I don't have...

• Prizes for anyone who sends us stuff -- like the tea, for example... -- for sale at the band's shop
• While not into SBD as far as I can see, for a roundup of J-pop from the last five years or so you could do a lot worse than getting the last couple of issues of Cha Cha Charming. Also covers French chanteuses, girl groups, 60s women singers, and metal along the lines of Drain Sth and Megadeath. Nice mix.
• Feature from one of the main English-language papers in Japan.
• You have to page past the Mad 3 article to get to the live review. (disappeared)
• Ricetone Circle by Taeko Endo
  ...On the contrary, Super Butter Dog played music that made us feel at home... continues

  -- has a link to a very early recording, "Disco Drummer"

• I think we can all understand what this chap is trying to say:
  
  Ich habe eine Einladung zur Party eines Billboard Magazins im Untergrund-Club Milk:
  
  Geiler Schuppen, eine japanische MŠdchenband spielt Hardcore Metal: Sie nennen sich "Super junky monkey". Mir gefŠllt der Name, genauso wie "Super butter dog" und mein Favorit: "Punch the monkey". Japanische Bands haben die bizarrsten, aber coolsten Namen der Welt.
• Our tiny review of 333 and Freeway
• A few more J-pop links.
• Where to buy? You can buy it at the chain stores, cdthen etc, but you might as well pay the same price (or less) and order from someone who knows what they're talking about like DeoDeo.com (Japanese or English pages) or http://www.farside-respect.com (haven't tried this one yet though).
