Here are some things you should know about Made in Japan...

•They were formed in mid-2006 by old school mates James Cooney and Jono Graham.

•James is their Vocalist and Drummer, Jono and Tom both play guitar and Mike plays lead Bass.

•Their first gig was at Vic on the Park hotel, Sydney in February 2007 to some friends and couple of lingerie barstaff.

•They independently released their debut EP in February 2009. The launch at the Annandale Hotel sold out in the first 20 minutes.

•They played at Come Together Festival 2009 to a large audience of young screaming girls and their boyfriends.

•They’ve supported Sparkadia, Bluejuice, End of Fashion and Kram to name a few.

•Faster Louder says “these guys are a perfect example of the undiscovered talent that is hidden in music venues around Sydney. Hunt them down and check them out.”

•They went to Melbourne in September to record their new single ‘Oxford Decor’ with producer Paul ‘Woody’ Annison (Red Riders, Children Collide).

•We hope to see you soon...

You can hear the influence of Woody Annison coming through A great feet tapping, chill-out song. Hope to hear more from this band.
