grist-disbands


GRiST announced at their live on 8/12 at Shinsaibashi club ALIVE that they will be disbanding. Their last live will be held on Thursday, October 22nd at Nishikujou BRAND NEW. Yusura and Mitsuki posted about the disbanding:

Yusura:
We announced it at yesterday’s live, but
GRiST’s live on October 22nd at Nishikujou Brand New will be our last
as GRiST has decided to disband.
This is a result of numerous discussions between the members.
In September, GRiST will be celebrating three years of activities.
We’ve been doing our best up until now, and we owe all of the fans for their warm support.
We only have about two months left,
but I want us to all continue laughing until the very end,
all of us together; the members and the fans.
Please support us until the very end.
-GRiST / Yusura

Mitsuki:
It’s been a while since I’ve updated, and I’m sorry
m(_ _)m

I don’t really know what I should write, and I’m still thinking about it…. but
First off, GRiST will be disbanding in October. We worried about it and thought about it time and time again, and finally this was the decision we arrived at. I’m truly sorry to all of the fans that have been supporting us.
I hope that somehow or another, you can watch over us until the very end.

I want to keep on going for these last two months and enjoy them without having any regrets, so I hope that you will support us.

First, I want to say thanks for the HOLIDAY NAGOYA Nishikujou Brand New lives!

It’s unexpected, but yesterday we had an announcement.

Larme d’ange’s new album and events

larme-danges-new-album-and-events

We haven’t talked about Larme d’ange in forever! They have a few lives coming up in August, including an event with CROW MUSIC. The event is called -INVISIBLE MENACE- and will be held on August 13th. The band line up includes GRiST, Sister Floyd, Black Mary and a few others – special guest for the night is WHITEBLACK! They also have another event on August 18th with gadget, InTheEnz, ballad. and Arc Leid. 

Last time I checked – in May they claimed a new album was in the works but they are still in the studio so a date is uncertain at this time. We’ll keep an eye out for more details. Other than that the band has been looking very pretty as a trio.

GRiST takes Villain’s place

grist-takes-villains-place

For almost a week now, there’s been a rumor about Villain disbanding… and I’m sorry I have to say that it turned out to be true. This has been confirmed for a few days already, and Villain will hold its last one man on June 26 at Kyoto ARC DEUX.

After the disbandments of IRODORI, and now Villain, some people may have thought CROW MUSIC was  going through a rough spot, but Tatsuya has already found a band to replace Villain ! GRiST has announced through their OHP that they were joining CROW MUSIC from now on.

I didn’t see that one coming, I love both Villain and GRiST but if CROW MUSIC needed a replacement, I thought they would try to pick a band similar to Villain, which is far from being the case with GRiST ! Anyway, great news for both the label and GRiST !

Details on GRiST’s 3rd maxi-single !

details-on-grists-3rd-maxi-single

As I told you back in January, GRiST made 2 great announcements ! The first one was about their first one-man that has been hold yesterday at 西九条 BRAND NEW (Nishikujo BRAND NEW), during which they also distributed a free CD that may pop up on Auctions Sites sooner or later.

The second one was about a new maxi-single that Mahiru told me about, but the date was yet to be known. And it appears that the date has been revealed a few days ago and the CD will be available from April 8th !!! 「cahier」 will contain 4 songs and cost 1 260 yen. The CD will be sold nationally through Like an Edison, which is a good news for people overseas cuz it’s usually pretty hard to get GRiST’s CDs outside the live-houses ! But to those who would like to buy it, you’ll have to be quick because it’s limited to 500 copies !

New look for GRiST

new-look-for-grist

GRiST is growing bigger and bigger lately ! After they hired a bassist and 2nd guitarist (as it was said a week ago), they are about to perform their first one-man live and will soon release a new CD even though we don’t have any details so far. But what led me to post this article is that they updated their OHP with a picture of the whole band. The profile pictures are not available yet, but it should be done in a few days !

grist-3

It looks rather different from before, especially for Mitsuki, but I think it fits them pretty well !

New member and 1st oneman for GRiST

new-member-and-1st-oneman-for-grist

At their live on February 4th, GRiST announced that their support guitarist, 霊夢 (Remu) had decided to join the band, and therefore is now an official member! They haven’t added his profile to the OHP quite yet, but you can check out his blog here: http://ameblo.jp/remuremuremuremu/

The band has also announced that on April 3rd at Nishikujou BRAND NEW they will be having their first oneman live! The details are not yet available, but as they’re advertising it as a “one coin oneman”, we can safely assume it will cost 500 yen to attend.

GRiST news

grist-news

Hey guys, I just came back from Japan, that’s why I haven’t posted any “new year message”, sorry about that, so here you go : Happy New Year to all of you, hope this year is gonna be even better than the last one (and that we won’t have as much disbanding as well!).

——

About the news now, I couldn’t be more sure about this one as I got from Mahiru himself ! It turns out that GRiST will be sponsoring an event on March 1st… but this is not really something amazing right ? The next part is more interesting : one month later, on April 3rd, GRiST will be having its very first one-coin One-Man (meaning a live for 500 yen) at 西九条 BRAND NEW (Nishikujo BRAND NEW). 

And last but not least, even though it’s not official yet, Mahiru told me that they would also be releasing a new CD during that same period, probably in the end of March, but more details will be given later.

I’m really happy to see that they are doing very well, they’re one of the bands I’ve been following since the beginning and I like them a lot, especially in live, it’s a lot of fun… but I’m wandering from the point.

GRiST – 2nd maxi single

grist-2nd-maxi-single

GRiST has announced the release of their second maxi single, which is also the first single with their current lineup! It’s been about a year since their first maxi single release, and this new one comes out o October 31st. It’s a three track single for 1260 yen, but unfortunately will only be sold at their lives.

So if you’re interested in the band and know someone who’s going, make sure they pick you up a copy!
