is a
Japanese new wave and rock band from
Tokyo, who dubs its unique style as "technicolor pogo punk". It was named after a brand of
synthesizer, the
Korg Polysix. The band started in 1997, but got their big break in 1998 at a concert in
Tokyo. They create high energy music, fusing conventional
guitar music with synthesized and computer generated sound to create a unique mixture of
punk and
synthpop heavily inspired by the American bands
Devo and
The Tubes, as well as Japanese bands such as
P-Model and
Yellow Magic Orchestra. Their song lyrics often consist of
Japanese,
English, or just plain
gibberish. The band has been noted for their extremely energetic live performances and their wild gimmicky outfits, notably their trademark orange
boiler suits, with a simple "P" stamped on them, and their straight-bar sunglasses.
