Nisennenmondai
Nisennenmondai are a Tokyo-based all-female instrumental trio who make music that's both raw and danceable in equal measure. They formed in 1999 and took their name from the Japanese translation of the then-current phrase "Y2K bug."

Formation
Guitarist Masako Takada, bassist Yuri Zaikawa, and drummer Sayaka Himeno met at a club near their university and formed the band soon after.

Style
Described by allmusic's Heather Phares as "taking as much inspiration from the cool kids at school as they did from experimentalists like This Heat, Pop Group, Sonic Youth, DNA and Neu!" Nisennenmondai compose mostly instrumental tracks which can be groove-oriented whilst also having an experimental edge.
