Ichirou Agata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ichirou Agata, often known simply as Agata, is the guitarist for the Japanese noise rock band Melt-Banana. Agata is known particularly for his furious stage antics, jumping and constantly moving around, and exceedingly unique approach to playing the guitar which involves extended technique heavy use of effects pedals and guitar slides resulting in sounds not easily attributed to the guitar. He is also known for consistently wearing a surgical mask on stage during performances due to nose bleeds. He also favors a vintage Gibson SG.
He has also released a solo guitar album, entitled Spike, on John Zorn's Tzadik Records.
