Nishikawachi

The Osaka-born musician known as 西川ち (Nishikawachi) was the original bassist of the uncategorizable Japanese garage-punk band Otoboke Beaver, founded by four members of the famous Rock Commune music club of Kyoto’s Ritsumeikan University in early 2009. Previously she had been a classmate of the guitarist Yoyoyoshie throughout elementary and high school. After college graduation and the band's first solo show on 28 July 2013, she left to pursue regular civilian life. Nishikawachi can be heard on the 2012 live album Present Progressive Form #002 from Egypt Records, as well as the single Otoboke Beaver Dai Jikenbo and the mini-album Mokugeki! Love Me Sign (both released on the house label of Jet Set Records in Kyoto, Japan); also a handful of earlier self-releases.
