grievers-upcoming-lives

Okay, I know a few of you are wondering what will be happening to GRIEVER since last night was Kikyo’s last live with the group (also was a live that celebrated the band’s first anniversary). The band has 2 more lives listed before the year ends.

They have a live on December 6th, with bands like camino, Larme d’ange, BLACK MARY, Dear L’Novel and many others… And their last live of the year will be on December 26th sponsored by UNDER CODE called act unlawfully Vol:21. Bands who will play along with GRIEVER are Megaromania, LOTMAN, ClearVeil, DI3SIRAE, VELGREED and E’m~grief~.

SIN wrote in his newest entry for fans to keep an eye out for Kikyo calling him a friend and rival haha.

I hope GRIEVER will return for 2010~!

Ah, fresh meat. There’s a new band in town and they go by the name of Dear L’Novel (ディアーラ　ノベル) Hailing from Osaka, this band is fairly new as they have formed September this year and begun activities in October. Much like any other band, their concept is that every member has a specific desire/meaning that produces a story.
