Pet Bottle Ningen is an avant-garde rocketship which journeys through musical worlds of composition featuring three of New York City’s finest young “Downtown” musicians, saxophonist Nonoko Yoshida, guitarist Dave Scanlon and drummer Dave Miller. A first meeting improvisation in October of 2009 between Scanlon and longtime associates Yoshida and Miller at Brooklyn’s D.I.Y. space Death By Audio led to months of workshopping ideas, composing new music, playing shows, and a 3 island tour of Japan during August 2010. Described by Dither guitarist Josh Lopes as “hyper specific, hyper non-specific music” PBN’s repertoire features a diverse world of sketches, melody, counterpoint, rhythm, noise and sonic curiosity which are displayed on their debut recording on Tzadik records, available the summer of 2011.
“Pet Bottle Ningen is one of the most exciting young bands today that eschews various genre’s territorial pissings and transforms them into complex yet catchy compositions. Academic leanings commingling with raw fury; they are a youthful reminder of the potency of New York’s vibrant downtown music scene.”-Chuck Bettis www.chuckbettis.com
“Pet Bottle” significa botella de plástico en el idioma (Japonés/Inglés), y “Ningen” significa “humano”. La palabra “Pet Bottle Ningen” viene por una de los chistes favoritos de comedia de Nonoko.” -The Holy Filament www.theholyfilament.cl
