モットーは「セックス・しば漬け・ロックンロール」

2009年結成。恋のルサンチマンをショートチューンで八つ当たりするいてこまスマッシュ・ヒステリックハートビート・どすどすどすえ系バンド。

流暢な京都スラングとカタコトの英語でワールドワイドに活動しており、アメリカ最大の見本市SXSWの常連、Coachella2018出演(日本からはXJAPANとおとぼけビ～バ～のみ)、吉本新喜劇の小籔千豊主催コヤブソニック2019出演など快進撃を展開しているが日本メディアには無視され続けている。2020年、いっせーのーでで脱OLし世界に挑むことを決意。した矢先のコロナショック！ガビーン！課金お待ちしてます！

Otoboke Beaver are a punk-rock-garage quartet from Kyoto,

Japan named after a local ‘Love Hotel’-they describe themselves as: “Japanese girls ‘knock out or pound cake’ band”.

Formed in 2009’s summer in Kyoto, Japan, and consists of Accorinrin (Lead Vocal & Guitar), Yoyoyoshie (Guitar &Vocals), Hiro-chan (Bass &Vocals) and Kahokiss(Drums &Vocals).

Live the band often invade the audience, often with guitarist Yoshie crowd-surfing whilst playing wild riffs flawlessly.

Sonically, it’s crazed, deranged garage, punk-rock-pop at break-neck speed and everyone sings in Japanese, often in Kyoto slang.

2017 was a breakthrough year for the band with premieres in Pitchfork, NPR, i-D and The Fader, astonishing SXSW/Fuji Rock debuts,

a sold-out 100 Club gig and their ‘Love Is Short’ 7” sat in the UK charts for 4 weeks. 2018 promises to just as exciting.

“The Kyoto feminist punks Otoboke Beaver blaze through “Love Is Short” with all the gravitational force of a brick to the ground. It’s sheer calamity and deliriously fun—supercharged, sugar-rush hardcore with breathless vocals, pogoing rhythms, and torrential DayGlo riffs…the fire of “Love Is Short” recalls a lineage of patriarchy-scorching girl-gang shrieks, from the Slits’ “Shoplifting” to Bikini Kill’s “Liar” and beyond.” Pitchfork

“Their Riot Grrrl attitudes and passion for noise-rock make them stand out as true renegades in the underground scene.”– i-D

“The Kyoto-based Otoboke Beaver takes in the history of Japanese punk and runs with scissors in hand towards the bonkers-noise of early Boredoms, Afrirampo’s uninhibited avant-punk, and the revved-up garage-rock of Shonen Knife…Punk is rarely this charmingly vicious.” NPR Music

“Not new, just new to us. Unhinged garage-punk from Japanese all-woman quartet-not to be missed.” The Guardian.
