Delaware
Delaware is….bizarre. They aren’t a band so much as a….group. Really. A group of creative people that work together to make everything from music to magazines to mobile phone art.
To quote their website (another example of how bizarre they are. The text formatting can best be described as ‘decorative’ and the letter ‘t’ is always replaced with the plus sign), Delaware are “A japanese super sonic group, designs_musics and musics_designs” (sic).
The music is quite funky though. Very electronica, think Polysics. Sadly, they haven’t released any albums since 2004 - they seem to be focusing more on the design aspect of their group. But their songs can be previewed on their website and the albums can be bought, albeit through an interesting webform and their PayPal address.

Delaware are (taken from the website):
Masato Samata (tape recorder, vocals, lyrics, composition, text, art direction and design)
Aya Honda (bass guitar, vocals, composition and design)
Morihiro Tajiri (guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals, text-to-speech, recoreded, mixed and composition)
Yoshiki Watanabe (guitar, vocals, sound programming, ringer phone and composition)
