WENDY  世田谷から世界へ
世田谷区在住の19歳~20歳からなる4ピースバンド。2020年10月、同区の青少年センターで出会った仲間で結成。
70’sや80’sのルーツロックやハードロックの影響を色濃く感じさせる楽曲と、それを体現するルックスやスタイルを併せ持つ。イギリスやロシアにルーツを持つメンバーもいるため、全楽曲が英詞。
 2022年4月10日には下北沢ベースメントバーにて初ワンマンライブを実施しソールドアウト。5月13日には待望の1stシングル「Rock n Roll is Back」をリリース。その後も、新宿ロフト / 恵比寿リキッドルーム / 渋谷O-nest などでライブの実力を磨き、同年8月20日には『SUMMER SONIC 2022』(東京会場:J-CULTURE STAGE)に出演、2023年5月には『METROCK 2023』に出演するなど話題に。
そして同年8月23日にはビクターエンタテインメントより1st Album「Don’t waste my YOUTH」をリリースし、メジャーデビュー。プロデューサーに、ジョン・バティステ「We Are」(2022年)でグラミー賞最優秀アルバム賞を受賞したMarc Whitmore(マーク・ウィットモア)を迎え制作。
 マネスキン、リンダ・リンダズなど新世代のロックが世界的に勢いを増してきている昨今のシーンにおいて、世田谷・そして日本から世界を狙う今最も注目のティーンエイジバンド。

WENDY, FROM SETAGAYA TO THE WORLD
Formed October 2020, WENDY is a four-piece band of 19 and 20-year-olds who met at a youth exchange center in their residential Setagaya City, Tokyo.
Being heavy listeners of both old and new Western rock and with members of British and Russian descent, they started writing songs naturally in English.
In January 2021 the band recorded their first song, ending up recording a total of nine by the end of the year.
April 2021 saw their first gig at Shimo-Kitazawa Basement Bar in Tokyo. From there, they went on to hone their performing skills by doing dozen-plus shows during the Covid-19 pandemic at Shinjuku Loft, Shimo-Kitazawa Basement Bar, Ebisu Liquidroom, and Shibuya O-nest to name a few.
On April 10, 2022, WENDY did their first headlining show at Shimo-Kitazawa Basement Bar, playing in front of a sold-out crowd.
On May 13 that year, they released their much-anticipated first single “Rock n Roll is Back” digitally worldwide.The song made its way into seven Spotify playlists home and abroad.
On August 20, the band performed on the J-Culture Stage of the Tokyo segment of Summer Sonic 2022, where the audience was excited with the emergence of the newcomer who would play a key role in the new rock scene. A week later on August 27, they did their second headlining show at Daikanyama Space Odd, which ended on a high note.
WENDY’s songs see strong inspirations from roots music and hard rock from the 1970s and 80s, perfectly personified with their rock star looks and style.
In the current scene where new-generation rock bands such as Måneskin and The Linda Lindas are gaining momentum worldwide, WENDY is the hottest teenage band that sets its eyes on the world from Setagaya and Japan.
