Fureasteen were originally formed in London in 1995 by Tomokazu Date, who had previously played experimental music with Chez Holmes of Exit aka Nova.　At first Fureasteen were a four piece band of which only Tomokazu was an experienced musician ( he preferred using japanese art school students with enthusiasm for making their own music).　Each sunday they gathered in a small Kings Cross flat to record experimental music using a cheap synthesizer and Casiotone keyboards.Eventually in 1997 the band gained the attention of i Records who released a 7" single "Kasiotelemusik".Not long after its release the band split up. To this day Tomakazu still makes music under the Fureasteen name.
