About
Formed in 1988 in Sapporo, DMBQ moved to Tokyo two years later and became part of the underground scene. Their initial lineup included vocalist Shinji Masukoin, guitarist Touru Matsui, bassist Ryuichi Watanabe, and drummer Yuka Yoshimura from OOIOO. Over time they became friends with the likes of Guitar Wolf, the Boredoms, and Merzbow, all left-field acts drawn to DMBQ thanks to their wild, over-the-top live show. In 1995 the bandmembers explained their acronym with their debut album, Dynamite Masters Blues Quartet, released by the Less Than TV label. The EXP album would arrive a year later, then in 1997 they landed on the Digital Catastroph compilation collaborating with noise artists Violent Onsen Geisha.
