MAS
Tatsuya Yamada grew up listening to alternative rock, hiphop, dub, jazz, and formed MAS in 1999. The band consists of 5 members: instrumentation includes Chinese fiddle, sax, bass, trumpet, drums, computer, and keyboards.
Performing live has been an important aspect of the band since its inception. MAS have been known to blow away audiences with their merging of live playing and dub mixing. On stage they get support from Tetsuro Yasunaga (computer) and Teruyuki Ōshima (guitar).
They have participated in several compilations such
as "out" (Flyrec), "UR" (Mao), as well as the Afterhours
Magazine, and have supported great acts such as Yoshihiro Hanno, Gel:, Discom,
Riow Arai, DJ Klock, gnu, and others.
