Agent Murder’s Murder T.V. @ Urga TOKYO :: Sun 20 August

[Goth and Hard Core] This is the Igorian event of the month!!
A full set of Agent Murder is always grand. It’s speed-balling metal with heavy Gothic overtones. But an Agent Murder-organized event is even better! Tonight is no exception with support from Mamono, a very hot act themed on escaped robots. They play great and [...]

Cut the Crap in L’intention Page1 @ Club Addict TOKYO :: Sun 20 August

[General Rock - Live] This gets a quick hoot for the involvement of the dark-tinged alternative rock act, Cut the Crap. The other bands tend to be good general pub rockers (that’s right… it sure as heck ain’t Goth!), although The Digital City Junkies are worth noting for pumping their sounds with aggression and agro.

DJ Violet in Club Walpurgis 12 @ Aoi Heya TOKYO :: Sat 14 August

[Goth - DJ'd] Club Walpurgis began as a Goth/Punk club in the 1980s and became a kind of underground Mecca in its day. 18 years after the original club closed down Walpurgis returned as a regular event in 2005 with a heavy emphasis on 80’s alternative, glam, Gothic, industrial and electroclash. Club Walpurgis plays every [...]

Vexation in Bitter Honey @ Aoi Heya TOKYO :: Fri 13 August

[Goth/Gothic-Lolita] Get another dose of the grim tales from Vex along with your Goth-loli fix at Aoi Heya. Don’t worry, these Gothic Lolitas are on the dark side with an emphasis on Goth.
Those who enjoy Alamode-style nights, or just wanting to find a darker GL-style event, should find this one worth a look-see. I am [...]

Club Inferno @ Bar Shifty TOKYO :: Sun 13 August

[Club Goth - DJ] Khimaira’s back into the swing of things to give you a monthly dose of Sunday-evening Goth at Club Inferno. Inferno’s Khimaira was the force behind Danse Macabre so this permutation of the event is a resurrection of sorts of the Vertige evenings that took place from on Sundays. I only got [...]

Alamode Night 24 @ Club Hoop TOKYO :: Sat 12 August

[Gothic Lolita/Goth Live & DJ] Alamode Night is a popular event that is either a Gothic Goth-Loli event or a Goth-Loli Gothic event - take your pick. Why do I emphasise this? Because Goth-Loli is not necessarily Goth, but Alamode has pedigree with live acts from Seirenes and Aural Vampire along with DJing from Sisen/Violet [...]

Midnight Necropolis’ Summer Darkness @ Pipe69 OSAKA :: Fri 11 August

[Uber Goth - Osaka style] Osaka’s master Goth, Taiki of Territory-D, was dabbling with his lighter side earlier this year, but has (thankfully) returned to the darkness over the past two months. Midnight Necropolis’ return venture is Summer of Darkness. As per previous outings the night promises Gothic electro, industrial, EBM and a spot of [...]
