From the fantastic blog Bleak Bliss:
“In a world full of information overkill, Violent Onsen Geisha is a rare and mysterious thing! As in… there’s very little info out there. Basically, Violent Onsen Geisha is the work of Masaya Nakahara although for years he created a history of VOG as a group whose members mysteriously died one by one (Spinal Tap drummer style, if you prefer). I suppose this provides the key to his work as Violent Onsen Geisha: sly and ironic, bizarre and sarcastic… creating a history which cloaks him in mystery so that he can enjoy himself in relative anonymity. Basically what you get is kitsch soundtracks and hippetty hop and blasts of disco and found sound and field recordings and spoken word and noise. You can see the smile all over his face… well I can! He has since moved on to work as Hair Stylistics which is more straight ahead blistering noise but with the same cheeky sensibilities leaking through.”
Shock! Shock! Shock! was originally released as a cassette by Vanilla Records in 1991, but it was remixed and released on CD in 1993 with a few extra tracks included. It’s pretty far out-of-print by now, but it can be found for a moderate sum ($25 on Discogs) or a slightly higher sum ($50 on Amazon).
