I found these guys since I play the same bass as Boss Shrimp:

From Weirdest Band in the World:
If there was a Weird Band Olympics, Japan would rack up medals like some monster combination of
Chinese swimmers, Norwegian skiers and U.S. men’s basketball players. Every time we think we’ve found
the musical pinnacle of Japanese weirdness, somebody points us to another band that makes the other
ones look like Air Supply.

So with that, we give you a band from Osaka called Oboreta Ebi No Kenshi Houkokusyo, which translates
to “Autopsy Report of Drowned Shrimp” or possibly “The Autopsy Report of a Drowned Shrimp” or
maybe even “An Autopsy Report of Shrimp Drowning.” They’re seven(ish)‐member experimental
jazz/funk band who dress up in giant shrimp masks with light‐up eyes and play long, droney jam sessions
that sorta sound like The Residents meets Primus meets a Japanese horror movie soundtrack. Their leader,
who seems to be known as Boss Shrimp, plays something called a Kydd bass (hĴp://www.kyddbass.com
/index.htm), which looks like a Chapman Stick but is really just a super stripped‐down upright bass
mounted on a tripod.

He’s like a Japanese Les Claypool with that thing, only he’s wearing a giant fucking
shrimp mask.

And that’s pretty much all we know about them. There’s virtually no English about these guys on the web.
We did manage to track down their official website (http://d‐shrimp.com/), which is all in Japanese, and
with the help of Google translator, we got this description of the band:

"Shrimp head, human body. Identity … is a mystery. Multi‐group leader Art [Phantom], led by shrimp
drowned. Participate in a number of musicians and performers in Japan has been revamped to human
shrimp. The number of members is unspecified.
From what heavy music such as music monster movie, anime cartoon comical things like run around rapidly,
its means of expression are diverse techno innocent.


All members, wearing a mask – a very elaborate shrimp. Difference, protean, infinite variety and musical
instruments also configure the number of members in each performance. Live, called the “Report” and has a
reputation to produce three‐dimensional that you take full advantage of the floor and other seats as well as
stage, exclamation from celebrities from various fields, there are many voices of praise."


All clear? Good.

I had to post this album as most of it is groovy. I just discovered it.

It is mostly electronic.
