HEYYYyyyyy!

Only Greece makes you O.o ?

There are other places in this tour that are not visited often -_-'

But its really a weird schedule,true.

[SUBLIMINAL 52]

Weird tourdates. No UK but Greece? I suppose we aren't as exotic as some European countries.

I can't make it to any of those dates!

[Jigsaw9 6783]

But its really a weird schedule,true.

I guess it's because nobody in their right mind would go to their concert in a country that has like 2 or 3 bigger/better J-rock acts around the same time (like Miyavi or Girugamesh). So they can sell them as [yay kawaii awesome visual kei band right here! ^o^]

At least that's how I see it.

[xMilou 2]

I believe Kohaku focusses on East Europe, that´s why there´s such a ´weird´ schedule..

I wanted to go to their show in the Netherlands, but apparently it got cancelled.. I´ll see, maybe I´m going to Cologne.

But where can I find the names of the venues? I thought it would be in die Werkstatt in Cologne, but OROCHI´s not listed on their site ><

[X-Marc 7]

for real, why botering to go abroad for a band like this? just like Guild and stuff, a band who hasnt released anything groundbreaking or awsome, just a cheap band to bring to europa to countries who get skipped by big bands.

might have gone if they came to holland, but id rather save my money for awsome stuff like D & Maximum the Hormone coming up.

i never understand those fangirls who have to see every single band that come, even when (like Guild) havent even released anything, so you cant be like: they make the best music ever!

[Champ213 1858]

Orochi have actually been around for years, they toured Australia extensively because those guys used to live there, and they released a - pretty good - album and some singles at that time. People just didn't notice them because they weren't "pretty" enough, and probably - due to the fact that they were based in Australia - not "japanese" enough.

Now they are back in Japan, signed with a vk label, are all "prettied" up, including obligatory pink hair, and the larger vk scene notices them for the first time.

[X-Marc 7]

aah okay, never knew thatXD sorry for my commentXD

[Champ213 1858]

Well, it does hold some value because presumably most people going there only got interested in them since they magically turned fullblown-vk and released a song on a vk sampler.

But the band does does have some releases under their belt (I upped their 2006 album in the DL section recently), live experiences, including overseas (I believe they were studying in Australia), so it's not quiet comparable go Guild (though I don't know much about them.)

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

Romania and Bulgaria? Hahahahah

Sorry I don't mind but Athens and vkei? (I like the name of Athens venue: Underworld, same like here in London, love it!)

btwonly Portugal or can beat Greece lol

I´ve seen GUILD live, and it was 10 times better as Versailles´s live.

and kind of stupid to say; ´might have gone if they came to holland´ and then ´ never understand those fangirls who have to see every single band that come´

you´re the one who is always going to every concert of a VK-band in Holland, even if you don´t like them.

to support the scene? or maybe just to look at the pretty boys.. fanboy XD

Yeah it kinda makes sense.

And btw, i wont find it very strange if other days get cancelled.

Sorry I don't mind but Athens and vkei? (I like the name of Athens venue: Underworld, same like here in London, love it!)

haha, i thought Belarus, Slovenia and Bulgaria beat Greece, but i couldnt know how the jmusic scene is there.

But we have some Jmusic partys going on here since 2006.

Hehe i bet your underworld is better XD I think (because it has it changed many times) our underworld is kinda small now.

It fits Orochi though

[X-Marc 7]

haha @ xmilou, remember how berserk you went about Guild with the numbered tickets and calling me a fanboy, ive already missed lots of bands in holland since i didnt like them, hitt, plastic tree, d=out you name them. so a bit hypocritical to say that, i dont visit any band anymore for a long time

it wasnt a personal attack, but apparently you felt like that

i just said what i thought, get over it

that´s something I can´t remember? I DO remember someone who was showing of his pictures with Luzmelt and the fool, and that person said that they sucked hard a month later.

´get over it?´ I´m also just saying my opinion.

but do you actually know what you said?

you first say OROCHI hasn´t released anything awesome, and then you say you might have gone if they came to Holland (if D and MTH weren´t here around that time). so why would you go if you don´t like them? to me that´s fanboy-behaviour.

by the way it didn´t really feel like a personal attack, but I just thought that what you were saying sounded kind of stupid.

[Messenger84 253]

Hey guys could you don't turn this topic to personal arg. You both live Holland so you both should meet in pub and disscus some details

Thx.

[xMilou 2]

you´re right, sorry XD;

but well, does anyone already has the list with the names of the venues?

[X-Marc 7]

haha@ xmilou

and ill keep it on topic from now on

Ehm excuse you? I went abroad for Guild because I LOVE them and had known them for a while then. Just because you think they're crap and not worth it doesn't mean that goes for everyone and just because it's not as well known doesn't mean it's crap either. But I think we went over that a million times at vknl...

Also guys, the Dutch concert didn't get cancelled. Kohaku just hadn't found a venue yet but everything is settled now. They'll play April 7th in Winston in Amsterdam.

[Des 289]

Hm, Amsterdam is fairly close to me. Gotta give these guys a listen, hopefully they're good so I can add another concert to the list.

[Manic 361]

The Hungarian gig was awesome! The singer's voice is sounds better than i thought, and their performance was funny too. The guitar was very soft, that's could be sound much louder, but whatever ^^
