Baxtu, originally named Prototype, began in 2001. During their short career, the line-up remained the same. Still under the name Prototype, they released two demo tapes: Real Capsules in September and Oage in March 2002.
It was on June 23rd 2002 that they changed their name from Prototype to Baxtu. They released their first demo CD on September 29th, named Atomic...
2003 began, and it was a busy year for the band. On January 25th, Baxtu released their CD demo Silver Art and another demo CD followed in June. In December, the band released their first maxi-single, Screamer.
2004 was filled with many concerts for the band, and they performed at events all across the country. Unfortunately, they decided not to continue Baxtu and disbanded at the end of 2004.
After their disbandment, Takuma, YU-KI, and Hiroshi started new band billy. There doesn't seem to be any sign of Jun and Sin.
Baxtu are an indies group, still fairly unknown to most of the music community. Musically, the band plays a good mixture of metal and punk. Visually they have adopted a punk look.
They were a promising band waiting to be discovered, but sadly they disbanded before they got a chance. Of course, they are definitely a band to check out!
