TsuShiMaMiRe

Tsu Shi Ma Mi Re (つしまみれ, TSMMR) is an all-girl Japanese rock trio that started in 1999. Their style is eclectic punk rock, mixing noisy and pop instrumental sounds with idiosyncratic, quirky, often funny or disturbing lyrics. They are one of the many bands to have become famous in the United States through the Austin, Texas South by Southwest music festival, and also through their performances at anime conventions, with the Suicide Girls, and at Benten Label's "Japan Girls Nite" U.S. tours. The group name is a mixture of the group's names (Yayoi Tsushima, Mari, Mizue) and the word "mamire," the Japanese word for "mixed up." They started their own label, Mojor Records in 2010. Early 2017 Mizue left the band, but soon afterwards they were joined by Maiko, who first played with them as a support drummer for a few domestic shows and their 2nd EU tour, but was added as an official later on.
