The Profile

BLANKEY JET CITY are a Japanese rock trio: Kenichi Asai (guitar, vocals), Toshiyuki Terui (bass), and Tatsuya Nakamura (drums). Active through the 1990s, they debuted with Red Guitar and the Truth (1991), recorded in London, fusing blues, rockabilly, surf, and punk into a razor-edged sound.

Their 1991 debut features the single Texas, often cited as the band’s anthem. Lyrics delve into delinquency and urban decay. Drummer Tatsuya Nakamura previously played with The Stalin and appears on John Zorn/Bill Laswell’s Buck Jam Tonic (2002).

A fervent paean to BLANKEY JET CITY’s debut Red Guitar and the Truth, spotlighting Tatsuya Nakamura’s ferocious drumming and the trio’s blues-rockabilly-surf bite. The review frames the album as a 1991 landmark, cut in London, with themes of juvenile delinquency and urban decay. “Texas” stands out as the band’s enduring anthem.
