In 1996 summer, the story had began.We started by 4 guys.Then,the line-up were Ace-K(Gt.Vo.),Suzie(Ba.),Takeshi(Dr.)&Com(Pianica).The imagination style was sounds like the 2TONE& the 3rd Wave SKA.But,we couldn't be active enough by each one's working.....
In 1999 we were lined up on the same starting line.
We got the power to play gigs as well.Rollings got to be the big band by 9 guys.Ace-K(Vo.Gt.),Hanaken(Ba.Cho.),Amb(Dr.Cho.)Ivy(Key.Vo.),Atsuko(A-sax),Usako(T-sax),Ryo(Tp)&Scotch(Tp)
In 2000 Our first recording "Gone with the smell/SKANON" was released by own label "RCF records".The format was 7inches vinyl. The second recording "Action"offered to NOCO label(Fred/SKARFACE).You can listen on V.A./SKAMIKAZE.This year, we supported the BAD MANNERS& SKARFACE in Tokyo.And We offered 2 tunes to the PORKPIE RECORDS(V.A./United colors of SKA vol.3)& FILE RECORDS(V.A./Mo'down beat)
In 2001 we released first mini album "Can't stay rude without skank..." from Gem-tone records on March.We digested 50 gigs. Ryo& Scotch left from Rollings to make a new band. So, we were 6 guys.
In 2002 Maska(Tb)& Masaki(Staging man = Skanker) joined in us. We made new album " I got no reason" from same the Gem-tone records. We offered old one "Action" to the MAD BUTCHER RECORDS(V.A./SKANNIBAL PARTY vol.2)
In 2003 We had the first Europe tour on January.(England-Holland-Belgium-France-Italy-Germany)There were really great experiences to play with the Busters, L.Aitken, the Braces, Ngobo Ngobo, the Ruffians, SKA-GAL, OOT...
We digested 27 gigs in 32 days on this tour. These days are much experience for people who came from far east place Japan.Much beer, Much Pasta, etc : )
Japan ska festival called "2 TONE TIME " was produced by the ROLLINGS.1000 people came to the show on Nov.2003. It should be big SKA scene, we thought.
"I GOT NO REASON"[EURO Vir.] was re:release from Volume 11(Germany).And we had 2nd Europe-tour between 19th Dec, and 17th Jan, 2004.26 gigs in 30 days in Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands and France we had.Throughing the year (2003-2004) was very exciting with fireworks!!
Soon will be out next album named "BRIGHT LIGHTS" !!(12 songs w/2 live tracks)

Rollings Lyrics
Bright Lights Bright lights, big city Gone to my baby's head Bright lights…

She Loves You We don't care if you only love we We don't care…
Skal Vi Vædde Skal vi vædde Det bedste er glæde Det gør mig glad At spi…
