Abikyokan:
Jacob Arntson (vocals, guitar, bass, synth)
Grant McGaheran (synth, samples, guitar, vocals)
Tatsumi "Goat" Ochiai (synth, guitar, bass, effects, vocals)
Abikyokan formed in 2004 as a vehicle for the core
members, Jake Arnston, Tatsumi Ochiai and Grant McGaheran to
bring together and make sense of their wildly differing
musical backgrounds and influences. Since then the band has
experimented with a number of styles, and has also been
joined by outside musicians in creating two EPs, one album
"Delayer" and a whirlwind of eclectic, volatile and wildly
unpredictable live performances. In 2006 Abikyokan settled
back to the core trio to create their most honest and
exploratory work to date, the album "Zuper". Its seamless,
otherwordly fusion of blues, bass-heavy electro-disco and
psychedelic, jazzy ambience represents where the band are at
now and a first, assured step into a musical universe which
they're looking forward to sharing with the world.
