Heroin
A couple of years back I posted some videos of the Orakomono Club, a really good band pivoting around singer/guitarist Hitomi, who has since renamed it Kill my 27.
I understand now, from this interview, that Orakomono Club was a reference to all the great musicians like Curt Cobain, who died at 27 and that Hitomo changed the name of the band when she turned 27 and didn’t die and therefore didn’t feel she belonged to the Orakomono Club, the ‘Fools Club’, apparently what Curt Kobain’s mother named the musicians kicking the bucket at so young an age.
Anyway, Kill my 27 has a new EP out, ‘Psychotropic‘, unfortunately only available online at this web-shop, which is all in Japanese. Also, it’s another web-shop you have to subscribe to first and give your credit-card number and so on. It’s a drag.
Some older work of Kill my 27/Orakomono Club is available at Bandcamp. (PB)
