Melt-Banana Lite Live ver 0.0 is a live album by Melt-Banana. It was released on November 3, 2009.[2]
Melt-Banana perform some of their shows under the name "Melt-Banana Lite", an alternate configuration of the band that replaces guitars and drums with samplers and synthesizers;[3] some shows additionally replaced the drum kit with a drum machine.[4] This set-up was prompted, in part, by the difficulties of transporting instruments while touring, and a desire to make it easier and more convenient.[3] Musically, the style was suggested by vocalist Yasuko Onuki, who made some demos that featured only drums, a theremin and her vocals. As Onuki came up with the idea ahead of a planned tour with drummer Dave Witte, guitarist Ichirou Agata believed she wanted to highlight the speed of Witte's drumming by removing the guitars. After their tour with Witte, Melt-Banana continued to play shows under the new configuration, typically with a drum machine.[4]
