Introducing D’sko

introducing-dsko

As always, the start of the year seems to bring around unexpected and unfortunate disbanding announcements. However, it’s also a time for new bands to begin!

D’sko is a band that started in November, and who had their first (demonstration) live on December 9th at Shibuya REX.

They’re a four member band with the following line-up:
Vocals - シト (Shito) [ex-MELISSA, ex-Veronica]
Guitar - HISAKI [ex-MELISSA, ex-haunted, ex-Rucid, ex-MerCurius]
Bass - テラ (Tera) [ex-VALQUR, ex-KiraLez, ex-LaTeratool, ex-6→7]
Drums - KARUTO [ex-Siva, ex-haunted, ex-Valls, ex-MELISSA]

Along with having individual blogs (click on the member’s names to visit), they also have a D’sko official blog on visulog.

Their demo CD was called 「極彩地底パラダイス」 (Gokusai Chitei Paradise) and was released as a free CD at ZEAL LINK stores, closet child, Pure Sound, Like an Edison (Shinjuku only), Jishuban Club and Lucy’s Pocket.

On January 23rd, the band performed at their first official live at Shibuya REX alongside other bands such as BLACK CAT, D’uAl, 黒雛-kurobina, BACALLA and others. That day, they also released a second demo CD (untitled).

The members are on Twitter, too! So if you’re not already following them, but would like to, check out their accounts!

Ex-SIVA Member’s New Band

ex-siva-members-new-band

This is a bit of older news, but still amazing nonetheless!

It looks like some ex-SIVA members have formed a new band! They were formerly a session band under the same name, but as of October, they became a formal band. Their name is Lucky13 and they’ll have their first live at Shibuya REX on 2012.1.15. Unfortunately their OHP is down at the moment, but hopefully it’ll be back up soon.

The members are:
Vo. カイリ (Kairi) | ヴィシュヌ (かいり)→ SIVA (カイリ) → Lucky13
Gu. 雄一 (Youichi) | Fatima+Queen → Elldorado → SIVA (憂→雄一) → Lucky13
Ba. (Kaname) | Fallum (kaname) → Gizmo (奏) → Lucky13
Dr. JIN

 

Kaname also has a Twitter account!

No other details have been announced as of yet. But, this is exciting news for SIVA fans! What do you guys think?

New band: Sika-bambi

new-band-sika-bambi

Not really visual per se but the majority of its members have been in well known visual bands! They are called しかバンビ or Sika-bambi. The frontman is actually…a front woman!

Can you guess who the members are?

Vo: YAYOI
Gu: DAISHI (ex MaitoreiA)
Ba: Cell (ex SIVA)
Dr: Atsuto (ex SUGAR)

Their sound can be considered “cute pop”. I hope people are happy that many favorites are in a new band! Their first live and debut will be on August 31st! Follow their OHP over here.

The end of SIVA

the-end-of-siva

Thanks to Ed47a for the heads-up !

It seems that SIVA has just announced that they would be disbanding after their last one-man live on July 25th ! So far, the band hasn’t explained the reason(s) that led them to that decision but they should post about it sooner or later…

I have to say that it’s only half-surprising since the band sounded really different after Iori’s departure, and it was not necessarily for good… but I still think it’s a pretty bad news even though it’s already been said that some of the members were thinking about some new projects…

Siva takes a break

siva-takes-a-break

Turns out that Siva, who recently lost their guitarist Iori,  will be taking a break until June. As it was written in the blog, they will be “going below ground” until then. During their time off, the band will plan things like their new costumes and the direction of Siva’s music from hereon in.

Guitarist Yuuichi wrote that although there won’t be any lives for a long time, and they’re making you wait, please wait for the rebirth of Siva that he feels will take on a great shape.
