With a little bit of Japanese noise plus plenty of Stonesy riff-rock and occasional rapping (in two languages), the Zoobombs were formed in 1994 by vocalist and guitarist Don Matsuo with keyboard player Mattaira, drummer Bukkabilly, and someone known as Moo-Stop. The band played around Japan and recorded a cassette EP for sale at shows. After supporting the Flaming Lips and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion on a West Coast tour, the Zoobombs recorded their debut album Welcome Back, Zoobombs, which earned distribution in America through Emperor Norton Records. the Zoobombs also publish their own newspaper/fanzine, Bozoobomb, and in 1999 issued their second album, Let It Bomb.
