HITT // “I wanted everyone to aim their eyes at me since I was born.”

雪 (Yuki) February 18, 2011 No Comments
HITT is a multi-instrumentalist solo artist, who basically is a one-man-band because of that talent. Despite starting his career as a bassist, HITT now takes the stage with a multitude of instruments, as well as his own voice. His cheerful, high energy personality surely makes for an entertaining stage presence.

Before his show in P60 in Amstelveen I sat down with HITT to ask him some questions about the European tour, but also about himself as a musician. Because it's not every day that you hear someone say they're a multi-instrumentalist...

-OZ- // “We just want our passports to be full of stamps!”

雪 (Yuki) January 25, 2011 No Comments
Starting in 2004 under the concept of “美と大敗” (Bi to Taihai) (or "Beauty and Decadence"), -OZ- have a darker and heavier visual presentation than the other bands signed to LOOP ASH RECORDS, but you won't hear their audience complaining about that.

The group released their very first album "VERSUS" in 2009, followed by "Rouge" in 2010. The latter is also the reason they're currently touring here in Europe.
This tour is their very first time outside of Japan, and we really wanted to know more about their impressions so far - among other things, of course!

the fool // Three crazy frogs on a roadtrip around the world

雪 (Yuki) December 2, 2010 No Comments
It has been a mere 4 months since the fool last came to Europe, since last August they were on the stage in Utrecht and Bonn together with Luzmelt.

Our first interview with Gunji from the fool included vocalist yuhma from Luzmelt due to time constraints, and some questions from that list had to be cut on the spot.
Unfortunately I can't redeem myself with yuhma at this point in time, but I can with Gunji and the rest of the fool!
So let's go!

Guren // A Belgian “family” inspired by Visual Kei

雪 (Yuki) December 2, 2010 No Comments
In all honesty, this interview wasn't planned at all. Until we got to the show for the fool in Amstelveen, we had no idea that there would be a local (Belgium is local to us, at least) artist supporting the three frogs from Japan.

Because of how enjoyable the three members of Guren were on stage, we decided to request an interview on the spot to learn a little more about them, writing the questions for this interview while the band was still on stage.

El -Ethnic Legist- // Four mummies combining Egyptian music with heavy metal

雪 (Yuki) September 21, 2010
What do you get when you combine ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) with Egyptian elements like folklore, fashion and music? You get El -Ethnic Legist-!
The four mummies are currently touring Europe to deliver us their music and stories.

We managed to get a hold of them in Liege (Belgium) for an interview, in which we talk about their choices for the band's concept and name, as well as their music influences. Are you ready for some Egyptian influence?
