The Ventures sind eine US-amerikanische Instrumental-Rock-Band und wurden 1959 von Don Wilson und Bob Bogle, zwei Maurern aus Seattle, Washington State, gegründet.

In 1998 Steve Carpenter, Anna Macdonald, Sean Evans and Tony Keenan got together, wrote some pop songs, called themselves 'bobafett' and played tons of gigs. They did this for about 2 years. During that time they recorded and released 2 cd-r type demo/album things all by themselves. In late 2000, with the imminent arrival of the star wars special edition, they decided to change the name of their band. It was at this point that 'tokyo adventures' were born. Based on the Wirral, the band released a number of compact disc recordings starting in 2000 with their debut mini album...

The music could be...

The All New Adventures of Us (Tanaou, to their fans) are the kind of band it is impossible for anyone to hate. After minor changes over the years, the band has settled on its current line-up. The seven Adventurers (Paul Macefield, Phil Spry, Kate Williams, Chris Jones, Jaime C. Macefield, Gary Fleming and Nic Willes) combine eloquently to make musical and poetic harmony through the medium of song. As one member once stated, "No matter how simple or complex, songs are maps to places that people can't physically go, escape plans to take us away from the towns and cities...
