"SARATOGA" is an instrumental electro/trance/psychedelic punk dance band formed by the 3 piece combo of Didgeridoo, Drum and Synthesizer.
They are usually invited to outdoor events like FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL, TOYOTA ROCK FESTIVAL and DANCE MUSIC FUKUSHIMA! while also playing at small clubs and venues in cities. When they played at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL in 2012 at NAEBA SHOKUDO, a stage near the food area, their catchy dance music sparked a bunch of people from the food area to start gathering, making a big crowd, dancing and forming a mosh pit. It was a big moment to show for them how much SARATOGA has refined their sense of music and strong impact with good dance vibes and punk attitudes. Their didgeridoo player is from KOORIYAMA in FUKUSHIMA, a city damaged by the massive earthquake of 2011 and ongoing issues with the nearby nuclear power plant. They are not a politically minded band, but they are trying to make the situation in FUKUSHIMA better and organize events sometime.
They have released few albums so far, but this kind of band is definitely made for live music, especially festivals like outside with nature will be super trippy.
