The band's subversive live performances made them well known both at home and abroad. After several member changes, Junko became a member of the band in the 80's, Okano Futoshi became a member in 2009, and the current four members are the official lineup. There is also a version with Nasca Kar Nakaya (Electronics) as a guest musician.
The album "Kuraroku's Odd Disease", released in 1982, is a classic in the history of indie music and continues to be a long seller.
