[Uber Goth - LIVE&DJ!!] After a month off during Tokyo’s sweaty mid-summer, the main event is back. It seems that Auto-Mod, Destruct System (DS cannot play this time) and Baal have become the house bands of TDC. Is this good or bad? Not bad for first-time or irregular TDC-goers, but regulars who are looking [...]

[Techno punk, alternative, elekronika - Live] A final w00t! for the dark cybernetic humanoids, Psydoll. Hell yeah. Well worth checking out to get a taste of darkness midweek - and the other bands sound interesting as a kind of punk-electronicka mix.

[Electro-rock/hard alternative] Not Goth, but plays nicely with emphasis on the electro and the rock (duh), and usually has a couple of acts from Tokyo’s darker side. With around eight acts each event, you will always get your money’s worth.

[Loud and heavy!] Ex. Despair keyboardist, Seiji, has struck out as vocalist (power screamer) for heavy rock-metal-industrial band Morgue - and it is seriously powerful stuff. For dark heavy soundscapes these guys rock! Igor saw Morgue at one event and loved the sound - and this was before realizing the lead man was SEIJI! So [...]
