Les Rallizes Dénudés were a Japanese experimental noise rock band formed in 1967 in Kyoto, Japan. They gained a reputation many years after their breakup as one of Japan's most legendary experimental bands, and were a forcible influence on the noise rock scene within Japan and abroad. Much of their popularity comes from their enigmatic, mysterious presence on and off stage, coupled with a scarcity of official releases and information on the band, an abnormally high amount of live bootlegs from throughout their career, and a strong cult following.
