{INTRODUCTION}

THE RISKY DRIVE SHOW is a ROCK’N’ROLL BAND that has been rolling for 22 years since its formation in 1998.

{BIOGRAPHY}

THE RISKY DRIVE SHOW formed in January 1998 by vocalist THE-MIZ and guitarist hisarkey after their former bands disbanded.  The members encountered each other maybe via; friends introduction, a different band while playing on the same event, or a poster in a studio…

{CONCEPT & STYLE}

ROCK’N’ROLL MUSIC without wavering and always aiming for the best ROCK’N’ROLL SHOW as a LIVE BAND.
Originally we liked the words “RISKY” and “DRIVE”, and when we put them together by chance, the words became more meaningful to us.
Then we tried to write it as “THE RISKY DRIVE” and we felt that the number of words was not enough, so we added the word “SHOW”.
Those words all together gave a really good feeling together, so we made the official name of the band “THE RISKY DRIVE SHOW”.
However, it’s important to note that the word “SHOW” is not pronounced and that “risky drive” is the correct way to read it.

BAND-NAME FOUNDER: Band leader and guitarist hisarkey.
