The 5,6,7,8's were formed in the early 1990's and hail from Tokyo, Japan. Stylistically, the band take their inspiration from 50's & 60's Rock 'n' Roll and have been compared to Link Wray, Dick Dale, The Sonics, Bo Diddley, The Trashmen, Chuck Berry, The Detroit Cobras and more.
The 5,6,7,8's performed three songs in the 2003 Quentin Tarantino film 'Kill Bill Volume 1' where the band were filmed covering 'Woo Hoo' (originally by The Rock-a-Teens), 'I'm Blue' (originally by The Ikettes) and a 5,6,7,8's original 'I Walk Like Jayne Mansfield'.
