Since getting into J-Pop/J-Rock a few years agothere has always been some part of me that wished for one of these artists/bands to come over and play a few shows in the UK (and yeah hopefully in Liverpool) and to be fair there have been a few (most recently Dir En Grey played at the O2 Academy as part of the Kerrang Relentless Tour) but I was either out of funds or just wasn't into the music at the time.
SO it is nice to know that as part of the Liverpool Sound City event in May, there are several J-Pop/J-Rock acts performing in various venues across Liverpool beginning from the 20th of May to the 23rd of May.
From the information I've been able to gather so far, these are the bands performing during that period:
20th May: Remain On perform at Bumper
20th May: Tokyo Pinsalocks are at Magnet
21st May: Skunkrice are performing at Korova
22nd May: 100% Genki Tour featuring 80kidz, DE DE MOUSE, Riddim Saunter and Tucker is at Chameleon Bar
23rd May: Natccu is playing at Bumper
Should be a few good nights of different music and most of them are cheap gigs (the 100% Genki Tour is a free entry event and Bumper tends to be free entry as well even when bands are performing), it'd be interesting to see whether any of these acts will be selling any CD's and whether there will be decent sized crowds there.
