[edit] History
Shaka Labbits first formed in May 1999 as the band Juu-Shock. The band changed its name two months later to Shaka Labbits by combining lead singer Uki's favorite animal (Rabbit) with the English phrase "Love It". They began gigging around Tokyo in August of 1999 and cut their first single SWISS MAMMY, releasing it through indie label Evil Design Records. They then released OVERDOING, a MAXI-Single, on September 9, 2000. Since then they have released at least one MAXI-Single per year. They have released three full studio recorded albums Exploring of the space (2001), CLUTCH (2004) and their third studio album, CRIMSON SQUARE, was released in October 2005.
