Zoobombs are a Japanese indie rock band, formed in Tokyo in 1994 by vocalist and guitarist Don Matsuo. The band's funk-rock style draws on influences such as the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis.
The band also includes bassist Moostop, keyboardist Matta, percussionist Piro and drummer Pocky. They first gained exposure in North America on tour as an opening act for The Flaming Lips and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and subsequently gained distribution for their albums in the United States and Canada.
In 2000, the band recorded a live album, Bomb You Live in Toronto, Ontario at the El Mocambo.
