The 5,6,7,8's were formed in
the early 1990's and hail from Tokyo, Japan. Stylistically, the band take their
inspiration from 50's & 60's Rock 'n' Roll and have been compared to Link
Wray, Dick Dale, The Sonics, Bo Diddley, The Trashmen, Chuck Berry, The Detroit
Cobras and more.
The 5,6,7,8's performed
three songs in the 2003 Quentin Tarantino film 'Kill Bill
Volume 1' where the band were filmed covering 'Woo Hoo' (originally
by The Rock-a-Teens), 'I'm Blue' (originally by The
Ikettes) and a 5,6,7,8's original 'I Walk Like Jayne Mansfield'.
