Originally an all-female quartet, pop-rock band CREA were a staple on the 'girls rock' circuit from their formation to their 2018 hiatus. They were regulars at indie record label FLYINGCAT's biannual live event WOMEN'S POWER, and played at the 2014 edition of SHOW-YA's all-female festival NAON no YAON. The band returned in 2019 with a mixed-gender line-up.
