Japanese rock bank Dev Parade デブパレード may literally be Japan’s biggest heaviest band.

The band members met via the internet when guitarist Ugazin advertised for musicians who weighed over 100 kg. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
