Rovo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ROVO is a Japanese instrumental band founded in 1996 in Tokyo by former Boredoms guitarist Seiichi Yamamoto, Bondage Fruit electric violinist Yuji Katsui, and synthesizer/effects technician Tatsuki Masuko, and featuring Yasuhiro Yoshigaki on percussion, Jin Harada on bass guitar, and Youichi Okabe on drums. ROVO define their music as "man-drive trance," and many of their compositions have a dance-oriented minimalism similar to that of Neu! or the early-'80s instrumentals of Simple Minds.
