Japanese force majeur of alternative rock
Meaning ‘Stick Man’ in Japanese, Bo Ningen are a Japanese London-based four-piece alternative rock band. Embodying today’s art-music scene where crossovers of different cultures are flourishing, they can list such an iconic list of conspirators and collaborators as is rarely seen – Alexander McQueen, Douglas Hart (The Jesus and Mary Chain), Damo Suzuki (CAN), Juergen Teller and Matthew Herbert to cherry pick just a few. Bo Ningen are fusing disparate sounds and influences into a fierce, eclectic torrent of grooves and bringing them across the oceans to the stages of Glastonbury, Coachella, Fuji Rock and Roadburn, where they’ve rained sweet hell with their chaotic and anarchic performances, often leading to personal injury. With the release of their alternate soundtrack to the movie Holy Mountain in 2024 and new material being recorded, Bo Ningen are yet again bringing their quest for artistic invention to the fore.
