In September 2013, weeks away from celebrating their 20th anniversary, Tokyo rock act Zoobombs announced they were disbanding. The group's leader, guitarist and vocalist Don Matsuo, and his wife, Zoobombs' keyboardist Matta, went on to form a new group called The Randolf. However, that project was short-lived and Matsuo instead spent much of last year gigging in support of his solo material.
But old habits die hard. Less than 18 months after ending Zoobombs, Matsuo is preparing to start the band up again.
"After my activities with The Randolf and my solo stuff, I realized all the music I make is based around Zoobombs," Matuso says. "So I decided that Zoobombs must continue to go on. I'm going to find new members and roll the dice again."
