Seiichi Yamamoto

Yamamoto Seiichi has been an active part of the underground Osaka music scene since the late '80s, not only as a musician, but running the music club Bears and heading his own label as well. In addition to founding Omoide Hatoba, he has performed with ROVO and the Boredoms for many years (on the noisy end of the spectrum), as well as with more pop-oriented groups like Shonen Knife and the Playmates. Constantly involved in a myriad of projects, Seiichi has also been releasing solo albums since the mid-'90s.
