Paume: This was about the only picture I could find, if you have a better one, please let me know.


Paume are made up of:

Satoko Asanuma (Guitar, Vocals)
Yasutomo Shikata (Drums)
Kanako Ueoka (Bass, Vocals)

They formed in June of 1995 and were signed to Less Than TV Records. In October 1996 they put out their first CD, the Self Titled album on King Records. They toured in promotion of this and beyond, playing with such bands as Volume Dealers, God's Guts and Naht. In 1998 they put out the Self Titled 7", this time through Less Than TV Records /Musicmine. They continued to tour with various bands on the same label, mainly in the Shimokitazawa area. In June 2000 they put out their third and final CD to date - the Uncrossing EP, consisting of just six tracks released again, through Less Than TV Records.

Since then they have continued to tour sporadically, the last date I can find mention of them playing was the LessThanTV presents "HOLLYWOOD JUSTICE" event on 2005.09.11 at ~20000V. They were booked to play a date on 2006.11.11 at UEN Studio Lst but pulled out in advance for reasons unknown. At recent lives they have apparently been switching vocal duties between the three of them. Alongside Paume, Kanako formed the band Trademarks with Maekawa from We Are The World, their lineup being completed by Kyoko of Penetrates.
