When you wish upon a frog! EXG!!

After hearing 1 song by eX-Girl and reading a review of their Back to the Mono Kero album, I just had to get it. And to my surprise, they had it in shelf at Musiikki-Kullas (the clerk congratulated for picking such an uncommon album):

Here’s a quote from allmusic.com review of the album:

One expecting the cutesy, Hello Kitty goofiness of Shonen Knife will be shocked to find that Back to the Mono Kero! is closer to Zappa catalog. In fact, the opener, “Waving Scientist,” sounds like an outtake from Joe’s Garage. These girls can sing, and with excellent range, as evidenced by nearly every track. The music is progressive, noisy, and strange, running the gamut from new wave inspired keyboard workouts, to dense, multi-part prog rock freakouts — yes, occasionally complete with Fripp-esque guitar.

Trio of Japanese punk girls playing prog rock compared to Zappa! Convincing, no?
