Hanatarashi (ハナタラシ), meaning The Snot Nose(d) in Japanese, were a noise music band created by later Boredoms frontman Yamatsuka Eye and featured Zeni Geva guitarist Mitsuru Tabata in 1984 after meeting as stage hands at an Einstürzende Neubauten show. After the release of the first album, the I was dropped and the name became Hanatarash. They were notorious for their dangerous live shows where gas drums were thrown at the audience, beer bottles thrown around, and once an (already dead) cat was cut in half. At one show, Eye managed to cause around $60,000 worth of damage by driving a backhoe through the venue's wall.

They used a variety of strange objects to make their influencial music. Most of which consisted of power tools, drills, heavy machinery, and the like.
Hanatarash are infamous for their extremely dangerous live shows consisting entirely of on-stage destruction and utter disregard for anyone's safety.
At a 1985 gig in Tokyo's Superloft, Hanatarash had the audience fill out forms relieving the band of responsibility for any possible bodily harm caused by the performance.
The show stopped just as Yamatsuka was about to throw a lit molotov cocktail onto the stage, which was gasoline-drenched from a barrel.
