envy re-established themselves with a new name and new band members in 1993. Since then, through a production process of trial and error, they have pursued and succeeded to create their own original style of music. In the past 15 years, envy has become a dominant band in the independent scene in Japan. Their music, through their own evolution, encompasses a sound best described as atmospheric / alternative / post-rock where intensity and beauty coexists.
Since the beginning, they have toured extensively throughout Japan as well as Europe, US and Asia gaining popularity and creating a solid growing international fan base. They have released 4 full albums, splits with such bands as Thursday, Jesu, Sixpence, Endeavor and TMK. envy has supported many bands such as Mogwai, ISIS, Converge, Explosions in the Sky, Locust, Lighting Bolt, Hot Cross… Recently they have played at Japan’s biggest festival, Fuji Rock Festival, as well as festivals overseas such as the All Tomorrow’s Party Festival, once curated by Mogwai and once by Explosions in the Sky. They have also played at other various festivals all over the globe including France, Czech and Taiwan.

A blend of minimal phrased piano and dynamic drumming in pursuit of a live experience composed of visual and audio expression.
Formed in 2006, with elements of jazz, funk, post-rock, hardcore and electronic music, Mouse on the Keys fits into a genre of their own. The trio consists of two former members of the influential Japanese underground band Nine Days Wonder, Akira Kawasaki and Atsushi Kiyota. They teamed up with Daisuke Niitome, who has played drums as well as composed music for countless jazz-funk and hip hop bands. Their unique sound, comprising two pianos, two keyboards and drums, continues to stand at the forefront of the Japanese indie scene.
A first tour in Europe in 2010 was well received, and they embarked on another one soon after, making an impression on all who saw them play. Their talent and remarkable creativity is sure to propel them onto an even larger international scene, if not farther. Stated goals are to not only play everywhere around the world, but to also one day make the jump from the terrestrial world and play in outer space.
