SHITZILLA
Bad Shit Japan Tour 2007
Photos: Tsuyoshi

Now, when it comes to shitty bands, I’ve seen ’em all… So I thought about joining one. We started in ’05 and it’s been skating, the road, and live shows—who would’ve believed it? The music is dark and dreary; ultra medium is how we like to describe it. We went to Japan with our friend Tsuyoshi showing us around and had a blast.


This bowl in Hiroshima is in the front yard of some dude who made it, skated it, and never skated it again… Just walked away



The lucky winner is…

Full-tilt Trixie


I never want to go home


Yeah Dad


I Don't Care with sax intact


The band is the other way, dude


I’m dyin’ here


Electric Ladyland


Break Fast


Who says broads can’t frontside? Trix, all up in it


Hard-hittin’ Trix at the top of the game


To keep in tip-top shape, Trix works out in the tour bus


Shackled to a keg, Trujillo gets his tat on. Beer Slave


Trixi skated hard, as this grind in the atomic zone will attest. A couple beers can bring out the best or worst


Watauru eggs proper on a splintery, kinked skatepark


Judo is from Japan, so TNT takes one home


Thanks for the ride kids, see ya next year


Pool cope and Masonite keep it cool in Ibaraki


Trujillo with an “impossible transfer.” Needless to say, the locals were hyped


“Somebody please turn them off”

OK, thanks bro




Tuff guy


Last show in Amsterdam, he puked. First show in Kyoto, same thing


International symbol of stoke


I want beer

More waiting


Reggie and Little Rock know how to party


Saxy sounds


Struggle For Pride, loud and proud


Fans want to kill us


Hat forward, meet hat backward

End of the line


We’re from Hunter’s Point, where they loaded the atomic bomb that was eventually dropped on Hiroshima—talk about full circle. A-Bomb Dome

First and foremost, we're skaters. We constantly evolve. The band just happened. You think it's cool, rad. You think we suck, even better. We are gonna do whatever it takes to have a good time. At least we're fuckin' trying. What the fuck have you done?

Thanks to Vans, Felem, and all you skate trash around the world. Start a band, make some noise, and hit the road bitches.
