I Don't Like Mondays. is a Japanese rock band based in Tokyo. They signed a recording contract with Nippon Columbia.

Their abbreviated name is IDLMs.

Overview

Origin of the band name

The band name "I Don't Like Mondays." was named because the members thought it would be very impressive if the band name was like a sentence. Every Monday is their holiday and they don't work on Mondays. They actually don't like Mondays, they say.

Production style

They started out making music by holding sessions or by individuals but now they’ve found that discussion is the best way to do the music productions. If one of the four members is not satisfied with the production, that track will never be released.

Self-producing

They produce not only music but also direct live shows and music videos by themselves.

The band is active in the fashion industry, such as co-producing with "RESTIR,", a Japanese fashion brand/boutique.
