Sunday Night Headliners!

Wondering who the Sunday night headliners are? Well, wonder no more…

POLYSICS hail from Tokyo, Japan. Formed by Hayashi in 1997 and named after a brand of synthesizer, they’ve spent the past ten years fusing blasting guitars, computer noise, high energy beats and their love of American New Wave oddballs Devo to create a heady, energising sound that they dub “technicolour pogo punk”. We’re not going to argue with that.

Over the last ten years released six full length albums and a number of compilations, whilst consistently wowed audiences with their energetic live performances and wild stage shows on numerous tours around Japan, the United States and Europe.

Given all of this, we’re incredibly proud to welcome POLYSICS as Sunday night headliners for This Ain’t No Picnic 2008! It’s going to be something special. Get your dancing shoes ready!

POLYSICS are:

HAYASHI Guitar, Voice, Programing
KAYO Synthesizer, Vocoder, Voice
FUMI Bass, Synthesizer, Voice
YANO Drums
