Out to Lurk… September holidays for Igor

This is starting to feel like work so September is Igor’s holiday month!
A real holiday. As in not filching around in the background type of a holiday. As in doing zippity doo-dah the whole time from September 1 until September 30th. If you got something worth screaming about drop it on the Board or, if [...]

Toge, Toge, Tokagee @ Shinjuku Head Power, TOKYO :: Fri. 30 September

One of the more lifestyle-Goth events in Japan. The event takes place in twin-level space of Shinjuku Head Power. The top floor offers diverse array of live acts, while the labyrinthine lower floor consists of a bar, exhibition spaces and some nifty craft shoppes. The ceiling’s low on the bottom floor so watch your head!
The [...]

Toge, Toge, Tokagee @ Shinjuku Head Power, TOKYO :: Fri. August 26

Toge, Toge, Tokagee gets underway (again!) on August 26 @ Shinjuku Head Power. Daybook’s Taroo is one of those guys coming up with funky stuff like the Android 666 event series and the cool Specimen CD compilation (I’m still enjoying mine). Taroo seems to be delving into a lot of areas with these events, creating [...]

101A in Web to Real “Too Real” #01 @ Club Chop, TOKYO :: Sat. August 27

Yes, yes, I know. It’s not Goth, but 101A is one hot retro-rock band with awesome femme vocals (and a spot on the Daybook Specimen CD), and the samples I snarked from the other bands were very nice indeed - good selection from Nyatta. Not an event to scream to, but one for soothing the [...]

Zombie Lolita DOUBLE FUCK YOU @ Ikebukuro ADM, TOKYO :: Tue. August 30

Teenage angst kei group, Zobie Lolita will be doing Double Fuck You at ADM in Ikebukuro. ADM’s not a bad place, but the layout is a wee bit strange. The brain lubricants are cheap though and the group should be interesting to see live. There will be a couple of other live acts there - [...]

Club Goodman :: Alternate Eleki-Town report

Fancying a different flavor for the night Igor hunts down some good Indy sounds in Akihabara’s Club Goodman.
Preparation
It was a tough decision, but one must accept that man does not live by Goth alone. Also, Igor is a bit of a lone-wolf type (does that mean I’m anti-social?), eager to find funky new things in [...]

Midsummer Sound Hell Festival @ Urga :: August 19, 20, 21.

If you’re overdosing on electro-beats and mixed noises are becoming tiresome, then you might be looking for some raw, raging live sounds. This weekend, Urga in Shinjuku, offers metal, more metal and extra metal for those looking to get into something loud!
Igor’s got an inkling to check out Friday’s acts so he can imprint his [...]

Weekly Goth Events :: August 16 to August 22

We got quality dark events going on everywhere this week (except Nagoya, alas). Special hails to Jude from Sins of the Flesh (check the renewed site!) for delivering the latest Osaka/Kobe gig news!
It’s Obon week in Japan, meaning that the spirits of the dead are about, ostensibly to visit relatives but who could pass [...]
