Darkest Fest Vol. 2 @ Club Crawl Shibuya

Filed Under: Events by Igor V. Goth — 2 Comments
October 18, 2010

Here is a nice Gothy event towards the end of the month. This overnight event is a showcase of artists from the Darkest Labyrinth label created by Blood and GPKISM guitarist Kiwamu. The night features six bands including GPKISM, Seileen, Vanished Empire and BLAMHONEY. It will also be populated by hot underground DJs Takuya Angel, Chihiro and Sisen. In terms of caliber of the artists this event would approach the levels of Tokyo Dark Castle, although the ambiance would tend to be a little softer than TDC in Igor’s opinion. Considering the rapid rise of Darkest Labyrinth and its high production values, the label’s events will become an important part of the Gothic landscape of Japan in the near future. Overall, this is definitely an event worth staking out.

As with all overnight events it is important (i.e. absolutely VITAL!) to bring a photo ID with you for entry. Basically, without ID you will not be able to get into the club – which will make for a pretty dreary time!

Event: Darkest Fest. Vol 2
When: November 26, 2010
Time: 24:00 ~ 6:00
Live: GPKISM, Vanished Empire, Seileen, BLAMHONEY, Rose Noire and marlee
DJs: Takuya Angel, Chihiro, Sisen and Manik
Tickets: 3,000 yen adv. :: 3,500 yen @ door
Club Crawl:  東京都渋谷区東1-25-2丸橋ビルB1 :: 1-25-2 Shibuya-ku, Tokyo east Maruhashi Building B1 :: 03-3498-3114 :: Map
