xenon

Well, there’s another new band in town called ゼノン (Xenon) who will officially start on August 24th by sponsoring an event at OSAKA MUSE.

The band’s concept is the convergence to zero and the construction of one. “Xenon” is the ideal direction of the panoramic world, and the five members will elicit a reaction.

The band actually started off as the session band, パノラマ虚構 (Panorama Kyokou), which came to an end on July 6th to turn into ゼノン (Xenon).

The members of the band are:

1246275542

Vocals - 湊 (Minato) [ex-Maccaholic]
Guitar - カイト (Kaito) [ex-Maccaholic]
Guitar - アキ (Aki)
Bass - テツヤ (Tetsuya)
Drums - クロノ (Kurono) [ex-Maccaholic]

Although the band just got started, starting from July 7th, a free demo of theirs has been available at HOLIDAY CD stores, Pure Sound, Like an Edison in Osaka, Tower Reocrds in Kyoto and ID・PILOT DEAD ONE. Furthermore, on the 24th, all those who reseve with the band will receive a commemorative CD titled 「セツル」 (Setsuru).

There’s not much available on their OHP yet, but if you’re interested in them make sure you check it out! (Note that the PC version currently does not work).
