goatbed - limited education

g o a t b e d

(info from goatbed's official myspace page) :The flow we live feeling aging in the age. Let's dance gaily only a little this year if dying sooner or later. It is sexual, and the appearance is neither a man nor a woman. We are the drowned gentleman and are sincere in the desire. The fashion will be controlled. And, one beautiful, colorful second is experienced with [misasagikatajikena] foolishly and extremely in violence also even of where salaciously. Because the destination is a hell.

(english last.fm):

goatbed is a side project of Shuuji Ishii and Takei Makoto (ex. cali≠gari); it is a mix of electropop and 80’s new wave.

ALIZA MARIE - 匿名希望のお便り

ALIZA MARIE
(english last.fm) :

Aliza Marie was created in September 1998 by Kichiku, Hiroki (ex-Lavis de fleur), Satsuki (ex-Dolice) and Takumi (ex-Lavis de fleur). The band didn’t reveal itself to a wider audience for awhile, but in December 2001 they joined the label Donuts Records West.
The band started with a number of performances, participating in various events. In March 2002 they released their first maxi-single, Tokumei kobou no otayori.
They continued to perform, sharing the stage with more well known visual kei bands such as Syndrome, Deadman, Blast, D’espairsRay, Shulla, and Merry-go-round, in order to get their name out and attract more fans.
In July, they released their first mini-album, entitled Hanshakai which was followed by the release of the maxi-singles Hakanaki michi hateno sora in October, and Hanayagu michi hateno chi in December.
2003 started pretty well for the band, and in March they performed at the ‘Stylish wave ‘03’ event. Unfortunately, Takumi decided to leave the band in the same month, and a few days later he was replaced by Kyohei.
In June, they released their second mini-album, entitled Pallet, which was followed by a short tour. In September, a song of theirs was featured on the compilation album Shock edge 2003, but then silence fell on the band.
They stayed silent for awhile and it wasn’t really a big surprise when Aliza Marie announced that they would disband on October 8th, 2004.

横須賀サーベルタイガー (japanese wiki)

結成～初LIVE

1981年にHIDEが高校2年の後期に結成。当時のバンドの名前は「SABER TIGER」であった。次の年には横須賀のROCK CITYで自身初のコンサートを行なった。

第3～4期

幾度のメンバーチェンジをしながらも第三期のメンバーで、ソノシート「SABER TIGER」をリリース。その後、同メンバーで、『HEAVY METAL FORCE Ⅲ』に参加した。このアルバムには後にHIDEが加入することになるXも参加している。ギターのNickが脱退し、LAFERIAのREMが加入。そして『Devil Must Be Driven Out with Devil』に参加した。

絶頂期～解散へ

1986年に札幌にSABER TIGERと言う同名のバンドがいることが判明したためバンド名を「SAVER TIGER」に変更。それから、DEAD WIREのKYO、TETSU、TOKIHIKO（解散後DEMENTIA→EMPEROE）が加入し、バンドの知名度も上がってきた。以降、精力的な活動を行なうが、1987年1月4日の大宮フリークスでのコンサートの時にREMが私用のためLIVEをすっぽかした。そのため、裏でローディーが代わりに演奏を行なった。このことに疑問を持ったTETSUが脱退した。メンバー達も現メンバーが最高だったことを自負していたのでメンバーの補充は行なわず1987年1月28日、目黒鹿鳴館のコンサートを最後に解散した。

解散後の活動

解散後、メンバーはそれぞれの活動に移る。HIDEは音楽から手を引き美容師になるつもりだったが、YOSHIKIに誘われXに加入。 KYOはBa-Rraを結成。その後TETSUの誘いでD'ERLANGERへ。TETSUはMEPHISTOPHELESに加入するが、バンドが突然解散することになり、その後D'ERLANGERへ加入。REMこと荒木正彦は、いくつかのバンドに加入するが、結局、歯科医へと進路を変えることになる。ベースのTOKIHIKOはその後DEMENTIA-EMPERORで活動するが、1995年にバイク事故で他界した。

再結成

1999年にREMを中心に第七期メンバーで再結成し、バンド名を「横須賀SAVER TIGER」に変更。その後、Rollyは脱退してしまうが、新ヴォーカルHIDEYUKIが加入し、自身初のアルバムをリリースした。

แคลช - VERY CLASH

I was thinking, that there aren't so many opportunities, to download/hear/taste thai music thru the asian music blogs, so I'd like to give You some thai-rock now. Here's แคลช [CLASH], and the decription is from last.fm :
"Clash are one of the biggest pop-rock bands in Thailand. They have had many big hits, and have 9 albums including 2 acoustic hits albums & 2 greatest hits albums. Their latest album is titled “Crashing” and was released on 23rd November 2006."
Yes. ~o~
Anyway, they aren't visual, or even hardrocking, but that doesn't make them not interesting. They're reminding me korean band somehow. Good ballad melodies, good guitar riffs, and great vocals. Yo, download :
