Recruitment for the band began with the arrival in London of the guitarist Agi. Another Mika (Mika Kanayama) on bass introduced an element of musicality to the bass department while a North London boy, Ergi, provided the drums.
In 2000, they signed with the Beastie Boys' label Grand Royal. Mika Bomb performed in the West Country plugging their singles "Super Sexy Razor Happy Girls" and "Heart Attack". They fused Motown, New York punk, 50's garage rock and Japanese pop to form a distinctive, distortion-heavy pop sound.
2001 saw the release of their debut album "The Fake Fake Sound of Mikabomb" on the Damaged Goods label after Grand Royal went bust.
In 2005, they released their second album, "Hellcats", which features a cover of Holly Golightly's "Won't Go Out" with Mika and Holly herself performing a duet on lead vocals.
On December 10, 2005, drummer Ergi fell ill and was rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed as having septicaemia. He survived a week-long, near-fatal coma, but had both his legs amputated below the knee. There are several fundraising events in 2006 to help Ergi cope with the changes in his life, the highlight being a benefit gig at The Garage, Highbury Corner, Islington, London on May 15, 2006.
Sep 2, 2006 in Germany they appeared on Rock my Ass festival, Bamberg, Germany and that seemed to be the last gig for the long time.
In Oct 16 2010 Rotterdam, after 4 years break they had a re-union show in Rotterdam, Netherlands, as a part of Camera Japan Film Festival, followed by 2012 "come-back" on IFFR (International Film Festival Rotterdam), Feb 4.
Mika Bomb is now officially back in action and eager to play more gigs all over the world.

Better change your underpants
'Cause you might need an ambulance
If you go out in the city
Bad baby submarines
Exploding in the paper trees
Don't ask me why, I just know it
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Poison in the babies' blood

Fucking up the fashion show-ow-ow x2
Gotta take our mobile phone
When you go out or sit at home
Do all the dips in the city
10 million fashion house
Put happy smiles in shopping bags
I can't deny I'm not smiling
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Yes, SK= Shonen Knife, my all-time favorite band (As you can tell by the screename); As for suggestions, it might be fun to see a vid for Bettie Page , with actual pics of the great burlesque queen, as for SK, have you heard "Love Song" (The anti love song love song), from the album Free Time? Someone could have fun with it, I think, clips of people in love and others going YUCK towards the subject (It's kind of hard to describe this idea, in words) ps. My Av is something I drew, it's Naoko.

Hey Shoknifeman, sorry that u have 2 wait so long 4 an answer. Sounds good , specially this BETTY PAGE thing. If i have time and some ideas it will appears soon. Besides: have another u tube channel too: 666Rodge. But maybe u won`t like this music. I did about 120 videos but here in Germany exists GEMA, and they forbid 2 publish most of them.
Shoknifeman
You're very welcome... do you also like SK?
