carddass 273 Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Band leader Hiroshi Sasabuchi started CQ from the ashes of Tokyo Shoegazer after that band's singer left, possibly to go back to her main gig as vocalist / band leader of Presence of Soul. Tokyo Shoegazer's guitarist Kiyomi Watanabe and Yoshitaka Sugahara (also in Presence of Soul) came along for the ride to CQ. Jun Shibuya ex vocalist of the great indie shoegaze band honeydip (and later tron) joined as vocalist of CQ after providing guest vocals for Tokyo Shoegazer on a compilation album after their first vocalist left before turning into CQ. CQ recorded an album 'What a Wonderful World' in 2014 but only released 300 copies as CD-R's at live shows and very briefly on the vinyl junkie website. They then released the EP 'What a Cruel World' later that year which promptly sold out due to their being only 300 copies again. At the end of 2014, the first bassist Ooba Wako left the band. (https://www.monochrome-heaven.com/topic/32413-cq-ba大場和香ooba-wako-will-depart-new-lp-what-a-wonderful-worlds-end-release/) In 2015 'What a Wonderful World' was released again as 'What a Wonderful World's End' with 3 new songs which was properly released as a CD/vinyl combo with a larger press run and sold directly from the vinyl junkie website. 'What a Cruel World's End' was released at the same time featuring live versions of the same songs on the EP from the previous year. Later in 2015 they released one more EP 'From Dusk til Dawn' EP that was only sold at their live shows. In early 2016 they announced that all of the available albums would not be repressed or sold again at vinyl junkie or at their live shows once they sold out. In summer of 2016 they released a collaborative single with some Japanese comedian singer-guy. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01KuKC8qPjQ) With no formal mention at all, original bassist Ooba Wako is listed as being a band member on the official website, vinyl junkie page and also her own twitter: https://twitter.com/wakowass Their official website used to be somewhat informative but the refresh for the 2nd album stripped away all mention of the old releases as per the norm of bands wanting to erase their past for no good reason. A few other live clips that the band officially uploaded to youtube were subsequently removed too.http://www.cq-band-jp.com/ Instead the vinyl junkie website has more information about the band:http://vinyl-junkie.com/label/cq/?special=Discography Here's an article in English from last year:http://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2015/04/03/music/cq-will-take-worlds-end/#.V-wqWZN95mA Edited September 28, 2016 by carddass 1 Seraphinne reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
