Site maintenance continues

What? You thought everything was hunky dory? Give me a few more days. The board is completely offline, the article submission is hidden (don’t use it if you find it). A few other bits and pieces are indirectly affected, but should roll pretty well. Once I get things fixed, I’ll be onto the Junk Children [...]

Weekly Events :: Sep. 27 ~ Oct. 3

Just a quick update while I get the chainsaw out on the problem areas in the database. Tokyo’s a bit light in full-on J-Goth events this week, but there’s a couple of foreign bands (Wednesday 13 and Last Nation) cruising through and Friday night looks pretty hot. Kobe and Osaka are looking good with Phantasmagorium [...]

Last Scream OUT! Slaves Midnight Riot

Sorry for the scream out… I like to scream now and again. Book on Friday!! And save enough for a drink and a half.
This weekend is Junk Children’s Slave’s Riot Night and there’s already a few folks from JP Goth going around. If you’re up to it and like the idea of rattling your brain [...]

Weekly Goth Events Sept. 21 ~ Sept. 28

Back from Expo and ready to Goth. Saturday sees retro-Goth Walpurgis and next-generation industrial Slave’s Riot Midnight riding through the night. Igor’s going to be riding with the slaves, but either way you choose, it will be good.

JUNK CHILDREN #1 :: Slave’s Riot Midnight @ Marz, TOKYO :: Sat. 24 September

Meet the next generation of extreme industrial!
Junk Children’s inaugural riot is definitely Igor’s top pick of the month - pipping even TDC #13 (and that did rock this month). Slave’s Riot Midnight has four hot live acts, plus three DJs who will be leading us all astray!
Live acts include post-apocalyptic industrialists Despair (these guys blew [...]

CLUB WALPURGIS @ Aoi Heya, TOKYO :: Sat. 24 September

Zeus Machina brings you Walpurgis Chapter 2 :: Vampire Celebrity. The origins of the event stretch back to the early 1980s:
The legendary Gothic Punk Club, Club Walpurgis opened in Shinjuku in 1982. ZIN was the main organizer. Soon, this club became quite popular among people such as musicians, photographers and artists. Overseas musicians & artists [...]

Destruct System in ELECTROCK #13 @ Urga, TOKYO :: Fri. September 23

Gobshite! I forgot to tell you fine folks about Electrock Circus since JP Goth v.1. Well, here it is. General electro might be skimming the surface of what may be called Goth, but these guys score some great hard-edged acts and any event whose fliers consist of evil clowns and gimps has got to be [...]

JET PEPPER TOWER @ Takutaku, KYOTO :: Sun. September 25

Another quick quick heads up for a pub gig including some Goth rock and punk sounds from Jet Pepper Tower…
JPT will be playing at Kyoto’s Takutaku in a pub/club gig called Body Divided (?). Other bands include Destiny and Really Nuts. Destiny looks like they got some dark leanings (though I couldn’t find any samples), [...]

Toge, Toge, Tokagee @ Shinjuku Head Power, TOKYO :: Fri. 23 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 organizer, [...]
