Urusei Yatsura is an indie rock band hailing from Glasgow, Scotland. Their unique band name was inspired by the popular Japanese Anime of the same name (うる星やつら). However, due to copyright reasons, they had to shorten it to Yatsura in Japan.
With their captivating sound and infectious energy, Urusei Yatsura has made a significant impact on the music scene. Their music blends elements of indie rock with catchy melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.
Formed in [year], this talented group has gained a loyal following through their electrifying live performances and critically acclaimed albums. With their distinct style and undeniable talent, Urusei Yatsura continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide.

So it's coming up for the 20th anniversary of the 'We Are Urusei Yatsura' album, so what better time to look back at the broken Woolworths guitars, damaged eardrums and bleeding knuckles of Glasgow's lo-fi, Tokyo dreaming geek rock quartet? You could say it all began at the Glasgow Sound City event, when legendary BBC DJ John Peel came along to check out Urusei Yatsura at the 13th Note at the invitation of future Franz Ferdinand front-man Alex Kapranos. Liking the chaos that he saw, Peel invited the band to record a session for his show, asking live on air while guitarist and singer Graham Kemp was visiting the studio to talk about his 'Kitten Frenzy' fanzine the next day. "Peel arranged for us to record the session in Glasgow" says Kemp, "We didn't have any amps or any money to get to London." Producer Stewart Cruickshank told the band that it was the first Peel Session recorded outside of Maida Vale since the Undertones. So no pressure there then.This began a long association with John Peel and the BBC, which saw the band record 5 Peel Sessions, 3 Evening Sessions for Steve Lamacq, play live to air for Mark Radcliffe, and appear regularly on Radio Scotland for John Cavanagh and Mark Percival. Digging through old C-90's that had been partly taped over with that week's charts, the band have pieced together a compilation of the best tunes for you, the discerning 90's indie rock aficionado. The challenge of recording and mixing four songs in a single day brought out the best in the band, and suited their impulsive, DIY rock n' roll spirit. The album features 11 songs, including session versions of 6 singles, choice album tracks and live favourites from the only band who have been threatened by both the Yakuza and the Mafia (the latter incident generating the hilarious headline "Nerds Threatened With Death" in the Sun "newspaper"). The band have decided to call this hand-picked selection of the highlights of an eight year "career"; 'You Are My Urusei Yatsura, BBC Radio Sessions'. CD - Limited edition Digipak CD.LP - Limited to 300 Copies on Neon Pink Vinyl.
