Aunt Sally emerged from Osaka's vibrant music scene in 1978, delivering a singular blend of post-punk and avant-garde sounds. Fronted by the experimental vocalist Phew, the band also featured Bikke on guitar and vocals, Kataoka on bass, Takashi Maruyama on drums, and Mayu on keyboards. Their self-titled 1979 album, released on Vanity Records, showcased a mature, minimalist punk aesthetic that belied their youth. Despite their brief tenure, Aunt Sally's innovative approach left an indelible mark on the genre. Following the band's dissolution, Phew pursued a diverse solo career, collaborating with artists like Ryuichi Sakamoto and members of Can, DAF, and Einstürzende Neubauten.
