Melt-Banana @ Instants Chavirés

No ratings yet

Melt-Banana are set to play two consecutive nights at Les Instants Chavirés on June 7 & 8, 2026 ! Not to be missed ! Melt-Banana (Tokyo) consists of Yasuko Onuki ("Yako") and guitarist Ichiro Agata ("Agata"). Agata's guitar sound is often described as a battery of turntables, synthesizers, and samples hidden between the six strings of the guitar, creating this "Hypertension Sound." Melt-Banana concerts leave a lasting impression : grindcore riffs loaded with unexpected effects, piercing screams, and intense pressure. Is Melt-Banana a noise band ? Or a punk band ? Techno Pop ? Giving Melt-Banana a brand identity is impossible. The group is synonymous with innovation and progress. Their sound stands apart and is often considered a precursor for many rock, noise, and experimental bands.
