Speed, Glue & Shinki

Speed, Glue & Shinki (Japanese: スピード・グルー&シンキ, Hepburn: Supīdo, Gurū ando Shinki) was a Japanese psychedelic rock power trio formed in Tokyo in 1970 by guitarist Shinki Chen and record producer Ikuzo Orita. Initially consisting of Chen, Masayoshi Kabe on bass and Joey Smith on drums and vocals, they released one studio album before Masayoshi Kabe left during the recording sessions for the second studio album in late 1971. Joey Smith then recruited fellow Filipino musician Mike Hanopol into the band and released second studio album before disbanding in late 1972. Despite not receiving much acclaim while active, Speed, Glue & Shinki have since gained a cult following worldwide as a hidden gem of 1970s psychedelic rock.
