Limited Express (has gone?) is a band from Kansai, Japan, who formed in 1998. Its members are Yukari (bass, vocals), Jinichiro Iida (guitar, vocals) and Josh (drums, backing vocals).

Biography

The band's first album, "Feeds You", was released in 2003 after John Zorn heard a copy of the band's demo and asked them to record an album for his Tzadik label. It was well received by Japanese critics.

Koji Narazaki (drums) left the band after exhausting touring in 2005.

Touring

In March 2004, the band toured the United States - including a show at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas - where they quickly built a devoted following from word of mouth stories about their explosive live shows. Later that year, the band embarked on its first tour of small venues in Australia and New Zealand where it managed to play to several full houses, and sold out of all their merchandise. One Melbourne show was recorded and later released as "Live at the 101 Bar" on label Tenzenmen.

In July 2005, Limited Express toured Australia (with Rogers Sisters), followed by Korea. In May 2006, Limited Express headlined the Soobiesta festival in Brisbane, Australia and released the "Jesus Child" CD EP.
