Nisennenmondai, a Tokyo-based instrumental trio formed in 1999, comprises guitarist Masako Takada, bassist Yuri Zaikawa, and drummer Sayaka Himeno. Their name translates to "Year 2000 Problem," reflecting their inception during the Y2K era. Influenced by bands like Sonic Youth, This Heat, and Neu!, they craft raw, repetitive post-punk instrumentals with a no-wave/disco vibe. Known for dynamic live performances, they've built a substantial international following, performing at festivals like Roskilde and collaborating with artists such as Adrian Sherwood.
