Otenki is a Houston-based indie rock band that I’ve known about for several years (in fact, before they were even officially Otenki). Recently, they dropped a new album called Making Sense Of Static
From the Otenki MySpace page:
Formed in the summer of 2004, the rock/pop quintet of Otenki (now consisting of Enoma Asowata (rhythm guitar/vocals), German Hernandez( lead vocals), Fausto Padilla(lead guitar/vocals/programming), Josh Tenorio(bass/vocals) and new comer Kris Hiatt(drums)) had a start that most bands would envy. Formed through exchanging emails through mutual friends, within six months of being a band, they headed to California to record their first EP. Also during those formative months, they were selected by MySpace users to play with My Chemical Romance and The Used during the inaugural year of the Taste of Chaos Tour. Shortly after that they performed at the 2005 Vans Warped Tour and the 2006 Taste of Chaos tour.
