About the Band

THEE 50’s HIGH TEENS

Attired in mod fashion à la Twiggy and sporting perfectly coiffed 60’s hairstyles, this girl group’s appearance hides the screaming garage rock banshee they become when they step out on stage! Being from Fukuoka in southern Japan doesn’t stop them from frequently flying to Tokyo to play Back from the Grave events and other garage, Group Sounds and rock ’n’ roll parties.

Members (on Live & Sessions):

Tomo - Vocal & Bass
Honey - Guitar & Screaming
Kei - Organ & Screaming
Sue - Drums & Chorus
Ricca - Drums & Chorus

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

Live & Sessions remains a valued collection of live songs that captures THEE 50’s HIGH TEENS tantalizing electricity of their stage performance as well as compiles some of the studio work found on various compilations and 7 inches in recent years. Their live sound is a frenzy of fuzz guitar and organ blurts along with vocal melodies that change from the rhythm n blues of the Group Sounds movement to helter skelter garage rock screaming in an instant. The studio tracks are no less contained and offer a selection of GS covers albeit with a HIGH TEENS flare for modern garage. Group Sounds aficionados who are curios about revamped versions of the classics as well as fans Japanese girl bands like 5678’s and THE PEBBLES definitely should look into the retro stylings of THEE 50’s HIGH TEENS.
