Thee Michelle Gun Elephant (often abbreviated to TMGE) was a Japanese garage rock band formed in 1991. The band was formed in 1991, while Chiba, Ueno, and Kuhara were students at Tokyo's Meiji Gakuin University. They later drew influence from The Roosters. Their unusual name originated when a friend mispronounced the title of an early jam session recording; featuring cover songs of Thee Headcoats (one of the band's main influences) and from The Damned's album, Machine Gun Etiquette.

Japan's answer to the Stooges, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant kicks out the jams with rowdy garage rock and hot rod punk, showing that rock & roll might just be the closest thing this world has to a working Esperanto. Every tune on Gear Blues, the band's first release in the United States, will leave skid marks burned on your brain

Bands like Thee Michelle Gun Elephant don’t come up often. That kind of energy where it feels like you’re right in front of them as they tear the stage apart, and there’s no better representation of this than on their 1998 classic, Gear Blues. Gear Blues is a milestone album; a culmination of their experiences correlated together to make arguably the best album of the bunch. The aesthetic emitted from this thing feels like you’re sitting in a sleazy, smoke-filled blues bar drinking whisky shorts.
