About Triggah

1) TRIGGAH is a Japanese hard rock band formed in 2011. TRIGGAH originally formed with five members, 壱-hajime- (ex-THE GLADROW) on vocal, TOMOZO and AIKA (both ex-Black:List) on guitar, TAKE on bass and YUSUKE (ex-Aftereffect) on drums. AIKA, YUSUKE, and TAKE left the band in 2012. After their departure, 壱-hajime- worked on some solo release and TRIGGAH became dormant. In December of 2013, it was announced that two new members, erina (ex-Dio - Distraught Overlord and VII-Sense) and 燵-tatsu- (ex-ダウナー(support)) would join the band to coincide the release of a new single, "ENVY AND JEALOUSY."

Having had a colourful and varied career, and having tried most things from teaching R.E. to secondary school pupils in Wales, to working on North Sea oil rigs ("Triggah the Rigger" he says with more than a hint of sarcasm), Triggah has found that his true vocation is in music. Triggah had no formal music training, unlike his father who played the violin, and at one point studied at the Royal Academy.
