Kero Kero Bonito (KKB) are a British indie pop band from London, England. The band consists of vocalist Sarah Midori Perry (known by her stage name Sarah Bonito) and producers and multi-instrumentalists Gus Lobban & Jamie Bulled. The band’s earlier work was influenced by J-pop such as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, as well as dancehall, and video game music; however, their work following the band’s 2018 EP TOTEP was influenced by indie rock bands such as Mount Eerie and My Bloody Valentine. Perry, who is half-Japanese, sings and raps in both Japanese and English. On July 8 2019, the band uploaded “KKB Life” to Youtube, a vlog video recorded during the Time `n` Place era, annoucing that a new era is starting. They announced a North American and Europe tour shortly after and released a new single When the Fires Come in September 2019. Later on in the month before the tour started they also released their fourth EP ‘Civilisation I.
