We talked about Dada opening his own label back in March, now the label which only had one act listed has added a few more projects to their lineup including a special group that Dada is working on.
The first group we talked about back when we introduced the label was Zwecklos. The second group added to the label is REMNANT. The trio includes:
Vocals: Marie
Guitar/Programming: Takmi
Narration: Rober_tJ
You can hear song samples on their myspace.

Next project is actually a solo artist! Her name is Salasa and she used to be in the band: Syaranosui with Calmando Qual’s TAK.

You can hear an example of her voice when she was with Syaranosui below:
Last but not least – Dada is working with Tak (Zwecklos) and Xiro (ex The Candy Spooky Theater) with a new session called JAGD PANTHER. Pretty cool!

Pretty interesting line up for the label so far! What are your thoughts?

Tomozo’s new band + Art Cube label change

With SEQUENCE RECORDS gone, you will noticed Art Cube did not move to Tomozo’s new label along with past label mate byakura. Instead they followed Black:List’s steps and moved over to Dual Core Sound Enterprise~! Not only did Art Cube make the move but so did Tomozo for he has joined a new band!
It seems like its been forever since Black:List disbanded and Tomozo focused on managing new bands while working on sessions but thankfully he has created another band: TRIGGAH.

Line up includes:
Vocal : 壱-hajime-
Guitar : TOMOZO
Guitar : AIKA
Bass : TAKE
Drums : YUSUKE
You’ll have to wait until spring for their debut live. Their “1st impact” will be on April 26th at Shinjuku Ruido K4. Are you excited??!

Sequence Records closes down

![]()
Many people sent this in about Tomozo talking about closing his label SEQUENCE RECORDS. The label has already deleted their official blog and I am sure the site will probably be down by the end of spring if not sooner. So what does this mean for the current artists?? The label only had 2 current bands, Art Cube and byakura. While they produced releases for Zabel and ZELGYER. Tomozo already announced a few exciting things for the new year, first off even thought Sequence Records is now closed – he has started up a new label called SOUNDTRAP ENTERTAINMENT, where Zabel and byakura are both added as artists. The official birth was on January 1st, 2011.

What do you think about the new label? I wonder if he will still do +ISOLATION or ESCAPE?? The label just had their 10th anniversary, so its sad to see it go, but I am excited to see the changes SOUNDTRAP brings.

Thanks to Nisshoku for writing in and asking us to check this out!
Well, it turns out that born is now the newest member to join Indie PSC and starting in August, they will be having a three consecutive month mini-album release campaign!

Details on the releases will not be available until June 9th, however, you can see the band’s new style and OHP over at http://www.indie-psc.com/born/! On the new OHP, they also have a video comment from the members.
The member’s blog addresses have remained the same, however, their banners have all been updated. KIFUMI and Ray, who have both mentioned the label change, stated that the change in label does in no way mean a change in who the band is and their music. They feel that the environment Indie PSC can provide them will help them to advance.
In the upcoming months born will also be participating in a few PSC sponsored events. Their schedule for June, July and August so far is as follows:
June 3rd @ Takadanobaba AREA
June 9th @ Shibuya BOXX
June 30th @ Ikebukuro Black Hole
July 20th @ Takadanobaba AREA
July 25th @ Takadanobaba AREA
August 1st @ Takadanobaba AREA
August 28th @ Takadanobaba AREA

Kiwamu added 2 more bands to the new label’s line up! First off he officially moved Suicide Ali over to the new label, up until now they were featured with Darkest Labyrinth. He signed on Calmando Qual and a disbanded band called Variable Messiah. Reason for Variable Messiah to be featured on Starwave Records, is that the label is releasing a best of for the band! Show casing their songs from 2000-2004. The release comes out on May 12th.
Variable Messiah is a disbanded band that was around from 2000 to 2004 and the members include Goshi and Hiroshi of Suicide Ali, Tachi ex project EDEN, Hiroki ex Oto-oni, and Aki ex 73shiki. They are also having their one day revival which we talked about over here.
