MOLICE formed in 2007 when they began playing weekly jams at Tokyo bar Kokubunji Rubber Soul, and they immediately set about crafting both their sound and image with care. In November 2008, they released their first commercial CD, 'Doctor Ray', followed by a year of headline shows around Tokyo's club scene. The band rounded out 2009 with three shows in London, England, followed in May 2010 by a show in Vietnam, at Hanoi's CAMA Festival. MOLICE's second album, 'Catalystrock', was released in Japan in March 2010, and quickly found a warm reception from critics: MOLICE were chosen by Time Out as one of five Japanese acts primed for success in 2010. The North American version of 'Catalystrock' will be released from Good Charamel Records (www. Goodcharamel. com) on August 31st, 2010, including the bonus tracks "Superstar" and "Monster" (US Remix).
