Bo Ningen – Maguro Video

Here are two reasons I like Bo Ningen:  One, they play massively distorted guitars that make you feel like MC  Hammer on steroids (when he was rich),  secondly Guardian columnist Paul Lester described them as Krautcore. I can’t speak for everyone, but Krautcore needs to become an established genre.

Here’s the skinny-Bo Ningen are four supermodel thin Japanese guys based in London that play excruciatingly mangled rock. The word that keeps popping up in my mind is guitar- Bo Ningen are some guitar loving motherfuckers.

To date, Bo Ningen have released one EP Karoshitai Kimochi in late 2009.

The rumor circulating is that Jimmy Page  saw Bo Ningen perform in them perform in the UK and was blown away.  If you take all these elements: Krautcore, MC Hammer on steroids, intense guitar love and impressing a guitar legend you come up with Bo Ningen.
