INDEX
Renowned as one of the top contemporary live bands, OGRE YOU ASSHOLE has garnered a substantial following with their mellow psychedelia. After developing a guitar sound synchronized with 2000s US indie, they solidified their reputation through a conceptual trilogy—”homely,” “100 years later,” and “paper craft”—which incorporates elements of psychedelic rock and krautrock. They have graced the stages of the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL, performing at the WHITE STAGE in 2014 and the RED MARQUEE in 2022. In September 2024, they released their latest album, “Nature and Computer.”
