Formed in Japan in 2012. Hibushibire quickly gained a name for themselves with vigorous live performances mainly in Kobe/Osaka.
The band's sound is based on hard psychedelic rock and progressive rock from the late 60s and early 70s, incorporating ethnic elements, drones and many other psychedelic elements, and thoroughly pursuing a psychedelic groove.
In 2017 they were taken under the wing of underground guitar legend Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple, Mainliner) and recorded their debut album ‘Freak Out Orgasm!’ with him in the producers chair.
In 2019 the band released their second album ‘Turn On, Tune In, Freak Out!’ which again met with praise from audiences worldwide.
Then, the pandemic hit. During this downtime, guitarist/vocalist Changchang decided to create a new power trio. Enter Tetsuji Toyoda (Bass/Vocals) & Aoi Hama (Drums/Vocals). The new trio have spent three years writing new music, playing live and honing their sound in Japan, and a short well received tour of Taiwan with Riot Season label mates Dope Purple.
In 2023, Hibushibire mark 2 finally emerged into the wider world, further expanded by the addition of percussionist Kohei Katsuma and released their third album ‘Magical Metamorphosis Third Eye’
Their most successful album to date, including four vinyl represses the band returned to the UK in late 2024 to tour once again, to ever bigger crowds and gaining an ever growing reputation as one of the best live bands around.
