Posted on July 13, 2009 in Myspace, New release

floppy-full-album

Some very good news for FLOPPY fans! They’re going to release a long-awaited album on the 16th of September. It’s going to be titled 「Deus ex machina」 and cost approximately 2520 yen.

What’s more, they set up their own MySpace, where you can listen to few song samples! They decided to held few more lives in the near future, but apparently all of them are sold out already.

Isn’t it exciting? I am so glad they’re becoming more and more active.
