The Bad Spellers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bad Spellers are an indie-pop band from Tokyo, Japan. The two members consist of Tony Parmenter (guitar, vocals) and Yasuko Ichinomiya (keyboards, vocals, toys).

Although officially forming in 2003, the duet spent the following 2 years in separate countries, only able to write music together via the internet and on occasional visits. Before "officially" uniting in mid 2005, "the Spellers" had been featured on a European net-release and 2 compilation discs.

In 2004 The Bad Spellers traveled to Canada to record/collaborate with Justin Langlois of The London Apartments (Universal Records/Beggar's Banquet Records). These sessions were released in March, 2005 to national distribution on Florida's Post Records as "Fall in Love," a split EP with The London Apartments).(1)

Since 2005 the pair has played shows in Japan, Canada, and the United States. (2)
