Daikaiju (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daikaiju is a surf rock quintet from Huntsville, AL. The members perform anonymously, wearing kabuki masks. It is rumored that the band was founded by a famous American rock/pop personality in an effort to get back to smaller, more intimate rock shows, the kabuki masks being necessary to hide his identity. While the true identity of this person isn't officially known, it has been attributed to members of Metallica, Slayer, and Green Day.

From the band's MySpace site:

Who is the Daikaiju? Kabuki men deliver most high rocket music.
Special reverb skill combo for full impact! Loud Roken-Roll for earful pleasure!
Impressive radiation of hyper-dimensional springy sound, divine psychedelic wind for your special liking.
Worship Psycho-surf band Daikaiju daily for good luck and health!
