The 5.6.7.8's (ザ・ファイブ・シックス・セブン・エイツ, The 5.6.7.8's?) are a female, three-piece, Japanese rock and roll band, whose music is reminiscent of American surf music and garage rock. Each member is from Tokyo, Japan. The group have so named themselves because they play music reminiscent of 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s rock. They frequently cover songs from American rock and roll records.
The 5.6.7.8's first started performing as a quartet in Tokyo and were recruiting many guest performers during their Australian tour, once even recruiting a male member, "Eddie". They first officially became a trio in 1992 before touring Australia.
The 5.6.7.8's made a brief appearance in the 2003 Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill Volume 1, where they were shown playing in an izakaya.
