Bleach—known as Bleach03 in the North American market—was a female noise rock trio originating from Okinawa, Japan. The group concluded their activities in June 2009, with their final studio album, Bleach Stone, released shortly thereafter on July 7, 2009. Subsequently, a "Best of" collection was issued in Japan on February 22, 2010, which included a DVD capturing their last live performance.
Renowned for their intense and unrefined live performances, Bleach toured the United States multiple times as part of the Japan Nite tour. Their song "The Head That Controls Both Right And Left Sides Eats Meats And Slobbers Even Today" was featured in the television series Mr. Robot. The band appeared on the Japan Nite circuit and played at SXSW festivals in the years 2001, 2002, and 2004.
