Space Streakings was a noise rock band from Japan formed in 1993 by four video game programmers. That year the band issued its debut album, Hatsu-Koi, through NUX Organization. The Space Streakings then signed with Skin Graft Records, whose attention had been piqued by the band's contribution to the Dead Tech 3: New Japanese Music compilation.[1] In 1994, musician and music engineer Steve Albini flew to Japan in order to record the band's second album 7-Toku. [2] Shortly after the album's release Screaming Stomach, who had grown tired of the band's cacophonous sound, left the band.[3] After a brief tour of the United States, which resulted in a collaboration with Mount Shasta of Chicago, Space Streakings disbanded.[4]
