"Made In Japan" are a Sydney based indie/garage/rock band that draw inspiration from the strokes, bloc party, red hot chili peppers and jimi hendrix.

The band was formed in late 2006 and consists of: James Cooney- drums, lead vocals Jono Grahame- guitar, vocals Tom Davis- guitar Mikey Williams- bass, vocals

James Conney is a dynamic frontman, who uses his full vocal range to produce melodies that are not only catchy; they comment on the Australian culture. As well as singing lead vocals James also has the tough job of being the drummer, a feat not many would attempt, let alone pull off with such style. 'Coontang' truely is the backbone of made in Japan.

If Cooney is the backbone, Jono Grahame would have to be the heart. Jono is truely a master of his instrument. He draws influence from anything you can think of, from hendrix to Gershwin to create his truely unique sound that easily idnetifies this music as original. Jono craves the live show, he cares about not much more than putting on a good show and rocking out with the fans.

Tom Davies, aka. "lightening" has been known for his incredible soloing and ability to make a song 'a moment.' Tom is the cool and collected one who is the large muscles and overall good looks of the band. Tom has always been a true believer in rock and roll, he was born with a pick in his hand and his prodigy like playing never ceases to amaze.

Mike Williams has been referred to by many as the original 'Mr Nice Guy' and uses his bass as a glue to support the rhythmic and melodic sections of the band. Mike is the internal organs such as the kidneys and small intestine, he values blue collar rock and is an old hand at the live scene having played more shows that you've eaten hot dinners.

Made In Japan are currently gigging all over Sydney, most recently playing at Vic on the Park Hotel and The Cat and Fiddle. More and more people are starting to take notice of the extremely catchy music and lyrics that are being produced, with the "biggest crowds this pub has ever seen."

Their 6 track demo is availabe at all gigs and through members of the band. In the words of mikey the Cooney "we're not trying to create a revolution or 'a way of thinking' as some bands claim to do -we're just four guys that love to rock out and love to have a good time. Join us and let the good times roll"
