detroit7 is a three-piece garage rock outfit formed in Tokyo, 2001. The band released their first indie EP in 2003, and consists today of vocalist/guitarist Nabana Tomomi, drummer Yamaguchi Miyoko, and Kotajima Nobuaki on bass. While signed to the Toshiba EMI label, they made themselves noticeable when they recorded the album “GREAT Romantic” in Memphis with John Hampton, who has worked with big-name artists such as The White Stripes and ZZ Top.
After ending their relationship with Toshiba EMI and doing another indie release, detroit7 was signed onto Victor Entertainment, their first CD release on this label being the full-length album “Black & White”. Meanwhile in the United States, Domo Records’ Daruma Label released the "detroit7" compilation album to coincide with the Japan Nite 2009 tour, which the band participated in.
The band’s name, vocalist/guitarist Nabana Tomomi explains, is quite simply the result of the members’ desire to combine the name of a place with a number.
