The Rodeo Carburettor was a three-piece Japanese rock band that formed in 2001. The band hardly speaks on-stage (other than announcing the song name).
Their use of distortion and noise have often led to comparisons to Guitar Wolf.
In 2005 the band performed at UK's International Music Convention, In The City at Manchester, along with fellow Japanese artists PE'Z and DMBQ. This was followed with another show at London's The Marquee Club that featured Mika Bomb. In 2006, the band toured the United States as part of the Japan Nite event.
Their song "Speed of Flow" was used as an ending for the anime series Gintama. It reached No. 43 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
