# Bleach (Japanese band)

Bleach (known as Bleach03 in North America) was an all-female noise rock trio from Okinawa, Japan. In June 2009, Bleach announced on their website that they had disbanded. Their final album, Bleach Stone, was released on July 7, 2009. A "Best of" album was released in Japan on February 22, 2010, and came with a DVD video of their last show.

Bleach was known for their raw and energetic live performances, and the band toured the United States several 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" appeared in an episode of the television series Mr. Robot.

In 2001, 2002, and 2004, the band toured the United States as part of Japan Nite, including performances at the music festival SXSW.
