Suchmos is a Japanese rock group formed in 2013. Suchmos was inspired by black music such as rock, jazz, and hip-hop. The band’s name, Suchmos, is adapted from a jazz musician Louis Armstrong’s nickname, “Satchmo”.
In January 2013, OK formed Suchmos with Yonce, Hsu, Ayustat, and a support member, Taihei. Kcee accompanied the band as a video group. Yonce, Taiking, Hsu, OK, Kcee, and Taihei were playmates. OK and Kcee are brothers. OK, Taiking, and Hsu are childhood friends from elementary school. Kcee and Yonce are acquaintances from high school days; Taihei is Hsu's junior at college. They gathered at OK's and Kcee's house at night and watching YouTube, singing, dancing, and playing.
The first live appearance was decided prior to deciding the band's name. While Yonce was suffering at the rehearsal studio of Tokyo University at that time, pictures of Armstrong flowed to the monitor there. Hsu who was studying jazz music saw it and said that Louis Armstrong is "Satchmo". They liked the sound and adopted it as the band's name.
On April 8, 2015, Space Shower Music released the band's debut EP Essence. From this work, the music video of "Fallin" which directed by Kcee was released. In the same year, the guitarist Ayustat left the band, then Kcee and Taiking joined as new members. Taihei who was a support member became an official member.
On July 8, 2015, the band's first studio album The Bay was released. It peaked at 26th on the Oricon weekly chart and 16th on Billboard Japan Top Albums. The lead single "YMM" from the album peaked at 44th on Billboard Japan Hot 100 and 2nd on J-Wave Tokio Hot 100. In December 2015, they won Best New Artist for the annual feature project "Apple Music Best of 2015". On December 12, 2015, their first independent event "Suchmos the Blow Your Mind vol.1" was held at Roppongi Super Deluxe. It is a voluntary event which was held regularly by inviting artists respected by Suchmos. Sol & Pimp Sessions appeared as the first guest.
