Friday’s new bands

We’re getting close to the end of this “new bands introductions week”, with only three days remaining, I hope you all enjoy having new bands to keep your eyes on !
Today’s bands are :

Carnid

Gu. Asato (down left)
Ba. Aru (up right)
Dr. Syu (down right)

Carnid is actually not a brand new band ! They formed two years ago already, back in May 2007 ! But as they’ve remained quite unknown so far, I thought it could be nice to put them in the spotlight. One of the reason that could explain we don’t hear much from them is the fact that they must be one the only VK bands from Himeji, in which they’ve performed for more than a year before going to Osaka. They’ve hold their first live on January 2008 and have spent the whole year performing in their city at the rate of a live every month.

But the band has recently decided to move to Osaka for most of their lives. As a result the band gets to perform more often with other young bands like クロ×ヒメ (Kuro Hime), Marie, Envus, or even Marrow Haze that I introduced yesterday.

So far, the band has released a single entitled 「First Cause」 in July 2008. You can hear samples of two songs on their OHP (in the Discography part), so you should check it out, I think they’re pretty good !

Vo. Rachi
Gu. 8-eight-
Gu. Reno
Ba. Liv
Dr. Konan

Here is a brand new band ! … and we don’t really have any details to write a proper introduction. But we’ll keep you updated when those are available !

So far, I just know that the band formed last month, and I don’t even know where ? I’d say Tokyo but it’s just a hunch ! Anyway, the band hasn’t started their official activities as of yet, and they will have two secret lives on August 4th and 13th before starting their real activities ! If you want to go see them for those lives, you’ll have to send them a mail (info@the-darling.net) and they’ll give you the details you need (place, time etc…).

To me, 8-eight- from the Darling resembles Hitsugi a bit. I really liked the sample of First Cause on Carnid’s website. Definitely looking forward to more from these bands!
