Vengeance for Blood Extra #4 @ Cyber Ikebukuro TOKYO :: Sat 1 October

Blood is back in Tokyo mixing up the Goth-industrial with the darker side of kei in Blood Extra #4. This event is looking more Goth-oriented than the last Blood Extra (that had Despair) with the power-femme industrial from BAAL and some good dark Osakan theatre with Rose de Reficul et Guiggles. Blood with be cusping [...]

S:cage, Ordinateur & more in Sequence or Die Vol. 7 @ Urga Shinjuku TOKYO :: Sat 30 September

[Industrial Technoiz, Powernoiz, Dark Rythmic Noiz] NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! (which band did that?). This is another instalment of the Sequence or Die series brought to you by Ordinateur (Takashi Koyamaguchi), who has previously brought out happening international acts like Mimetic and Iszoloscope. This year will see Ordinateur bringing S:cage, the label mate of ant-zen in [...]

Agent Murder and Suicide Squad in Climax Alcoholism #59 @ Roppongi Morph :: Sat 30 September

[Goth - Whitecore - Metal] Two of my favorite bands to scream to are (I shit you not), Agent Murder and Suicide Squad. Many of you Goth-only folks probably don’t know Suicide Squad, but this is power core adrenilin rush stuff. You will like them. The Murder boys are dark princes in the scene, but [...]

Stigmatic @ P.O.D. Sakae NAGOYA :: Sat 30 September

[Hard LOUD Goth - DJ'd] I have been pretty impressed with the Nagoyan scene in 2006 with a good number of dark-hearted events cropping up since January (by Nagoyan standards). September is no exception with Nagoya’s Goth-master Doom Spider letting rip with another overdose of the Stigmatic scene. Remember kids… Doom Spider likes his parties [...]

Sexy Dyna Nite 3 @ Harajuku Laforet Museum TOKYO :: Sun 17 September

[Punk/Goth/Alt Fashion Fest with Live Music] Peeps who know gadget. and Geeks should definitely know lead man Kenzo Amishiro. But did you know he also has a couple of underground fashion brands? Well he does. Called Stigmata and the Addiction both will be featured at this event. Aside from getting to see an underground fashion [...]

JPT, Speecies & Elmina in [sin:kwai] @ Alive OSAKA :: Sat 23 September

Hell YEAH! This is one bitching event my Osakan friends!
[Crossover Dark Field] A hot new event in Osaka organized by renowned Kansai Goth DJ Elmina. The live acts are rocking. From Osaka there is glammy Goth rock from Speecies (the current project of Jubilee’s Sadie), hard, moody stuff from Jet Pepper Tower. From Nagoya there [...]

Geeks @ Heaven’s Door TOKYO :: Wed 20 September

[Alt-rock Live] Geeks is hot. How hot? Ana from Despair and Kenzo from gadget. - Fear-factor industrial meets hard-retro groove. There should be laws against a combination this sexy.
I cannot say much about the other bands, but I do like the name Cannibal Rabbit… Besides, Geeks is a hot unit and any event with [...]

Midnight Mess 4th Anniversary @ Marz Shinjuku :: Sat 23 September

[Goth - Fetish - Industrial - DJ & Live] Four damned years… or is it four years of the damned? Either way, Ms. Maya has been holding her regular public nocturnal event for a long time by local Goth-scene standards - expect 4YMM to be bigger and crazier than normal.
Lots of things happening including lots [...]

Zombie Lolita and more in Toge Toge Tokagee @ Head Power, TOKYO :: Fri 22 & 29 September.

[Gothy-alternative - Live] An art-pub style event mixing a range of bands and performances that you might not have seen at other Goth events in Tokyo. Along with the live shows there are various art exhibits in the lower labyrinthine level of Head Power.
The event on the 22nd is worth an extra mention by virtue [...]

Something’s gone wrong again. Not sure what, but it will be offline until I get a chance to look at it. A few other things may be offline during this checking process. Hopefully this will only be a few days.
