History
筋肉少女帯 (Kinniku Shōjo Tai, a.k.a. King-Show) is a Japanese rock band formed in 1982. Their early indie material is notable for its experimental tendencies and prominent piano, but they later moved in more of a heavy metal direction.
In 1979 when vocalist Kenji Ōtsuki (大槻ケンヂ) and bassist Yūichirō Uchida (内田雄一郎) were Junior High School students, they started a band called "Dotechins" (ドテチンズ; the name came from Ōtsuki's nickname at school), and this band was a precursor of Kinniku Shōjo Tai. In February 1982, after they had disbanded Dotechins and became high school students, they started a new band, "Kinniku Shōnen Shōjo Tai". On 6th April the same year, they debuted in the independent music scene and changed the band name to "Kinniku Shōjo Tai".
