One of the bands I caught in Tokyo was Yo Homme, an all-girl power trio with devilishly groovy riffs and the laziest Japanese drawl I heard during my holiday. The grrls toe the line between stoner rock and nineties grunge of an American persuasion, but Nii’s blitzed/blissed guitar scorches in a way that’s unmistakably like Japanese psych.
Listen here (いいこだよ) for a studio recording of the song, whose name translates to “I’m a Good Girl”.
