JPNSGRLS – pronounced “''Japanese Girls''” — is a four-piece Canadian garage pop band formed in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2010. The band consists of Charlie Kerr, vocalist/lyricist, Oliver Mann, lead guitar, Christopher McClelland, bass guitar, and Graham Serl on drums. ==History== The band members are all originally from the Greater Vancouver area. Kerr and Mann formed a core project in 2007 while still in secondary school, with McClelland joining in 2009 and Serl rounding out the final lineup in 2010.〔('Interview:JPNSGRLS' ) ASAP Music Blog, October 18, 2013, Retrieved April 3, 2015〕 Live shows were integral to the band from its beginning, performing in battles of the bands, and packing out any venue that would allow teenage performers and their audiences. Prior to 2010, JPNSGRLS was originally known as ''The Beauties'', but due to a name conflict with an existing band, changed its name to ''Japanese Girls''. This name was chosen as a tribute to another band called Mass of the Fermenting Dregs.〔('Japanese Girls talk band name, The Sharkweek EP, Vancouver’s live scene' ) The Flying V Blog, July 23, 2013, Retrieved April 3, 2015.〕 However, upon realizing it caused difficulty when searching for the band online, they stylized it to the current JPNSGRLS. The band is a fixture on the Vancouver independent music scene, and is known for its hyperkinetic live shows. While Kerr is the sole lyricist, JPNSGRLS takes a democratic approach with all members contributing to the building of the songs overall. In April 2015, JPNSGRLS was nominated for the ''Sirius XM Canada Independent Music Award'' for 'Emerging Artist of the Year (English)'.〔('2015 SIRIUSXM INDIE AWARDS NOMINEES ANNOUNCED' ) Sirius XM Indie Nominees Website, April 8, 2015, Retrieved April 11, 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「JPNSGRLS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
