cutman-booche consists of Kim Wooyong, Shusaku Hayashi and Jyunpei Komiyama and was formed in Osaka in 2002. They sound of surf music like Jack Johnson and G Love & Special Sauce but funky, bluesy and groovy at the same time. They named their music as "boosoul". They released the 1st mini album "cutman-booche" in 2004 and released the 2nd mini album "clisco line" in the following year. They had taken part in many events and music festivals for instance, FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL and then released the 3rd mini album "spinach del sol" in 2006. They are growing step by step with challenging spirit, but their bluesy and soulful style, which was firmly establihsed has not changed through to the end.
There is definitely something really Rockin' about live show that make a whole performance experience heavier, and far more exciting.
