Half Japanese
Half Japanese är en amerikansk noise rock indierock/lo-figrupp, grundad ungefär 1975 av bröderna Jad och David Fair i Ann Arbor i Michigan. Bandets okonventionella DIY-estetik har varit mycket inflytelserik,[1] och inspirerat band som Beat Happening, Pavement, Sebadoh, Nirvana och The Vaselines.[2]
