Kero Kero Bonito (KKB) are a British indie pop band formed in London in 2011. The band consists of vocalist Sarah Midori Perry and producers and multi-instrumentalists Gus Lobban and Jamie Bulled.
Their musical style consists of indie pop,[1] electropop,[2] dance-rock,[3] hyperpop,[4] and bubblegum pop.[5] The band's earlier work was influenced by J-pop such as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, as well as dancehall, and video game music;[6] however, following their 2018 EP TOTEP their sound and influences diversified, with their second studio album, Time 'n' Place, being influenced by indie rock contemporaries such as Mount Eerie and My Bloody Valentine.[7][8] Perry, who is of mixed Japanese and British ancestry, sings and raps in both Japanese and English.
