Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas Debut US Show in October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas is set for their US debut soon. You're probably thinking the book by Hunter S Thompson or the movie of the same name, but no, we're talking about the Japanese band. Prior to now Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas (shorthand: FALILV) haven't played in America but we're changing things this year. I've seen them a few times in Japan at both their Mega Vegas festival in Kobe (which is where the band hails from) as well as alongside BanG Dream band RAISE A SUILEN. They fe
Event Report: YOASOBI Special Pop Up at Complex LA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Never Ending Stories tour may be over, but that doesn't mean our time with YOASOBI is over just yet. Photos: Roger Lee (The-O Network Online) With assistance from Salvador Mateos and Ken DuBois Late last week, Complex LA announced it would host a two-day YOASOBI pop-up shop. Even more notable, Ikura and Ayase themselves would be present on day one of the pop-up for a meet-and-greet autograph session. It's nearly impossible to get this close to YOASOBI, let alone get their autographs, so this
BAND-MAID Announces American Tour 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BAND-MAID makes their long-awaited return to America, but with a caveat. This time around, the tour is much more compact compared to 2023's and only has six US shows plus one MX show, roughly a third the number that the previous tour had. Mainstays like LA and NY are of course included, but missing are San Francisco, Seattle, and many others. The wide-spread 2022 and 2023 tours might have been a little ambitious but this seems like too much of a contraction. BAND-MAID has actually been touring t
Concert Report: YOASOBI at Oakland Arena for the "Never Ending Stories" Tour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
YOASOBI is one of the biggest acts in Japan at the moment. This is one of the few times they've come to America and held standalone shows, with two of those times being their American West Coast and East Coast debuts in 2024. Tickets were very limited for those stops, and for this tour, they aimed for much bigger heights. For a lot of bands, filling up a dome or arena-size venue is a far-off dream. You start with club shows that hold a few hundred before proceeding to mid-size venues that hold a
NEMOPHILA's Hazuki and Tamu Depart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We have regrettably received news that Nemophila has gone from a quartet to a duo. Guitarist Hazuki is leaving the band as of October, and drummer Tamu Murata has officially left as of the end of July. Both will play a few more shows before ending their tenure with Nemophila. I usually don't post about lineup changes but this is just after a successful American tour. It appears this was coordinated to be after the tour, as something like this is not decided lightly. The official reasons for leav
