The Underneath To Headline Sunday Concert at Otakon 2008 (Baltimore, Maryland August 8th - 10th)
Hey everyone ! It didn't seem to be posted on here so I thought I'd let you know...

Here is the press release and such from Otakon...
"With a high level of musicianship and a mysterious charisma, the Underneath is rapidly shaking up live houses throughout Japan with and aesthetic explosion of sound. Fresh from their recent stint on the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour and the Hide Memorial Summit (alongside former Otakon guests MUCC, TMR, and Yoshiki), the Underneath will bring their unique sound to Otakon 2008 as Sunday's headline performance.
As the moral support and backbone of the band, drummer MASAKI provides a rhythm that is at once heavy and danceable, working together with a strong electro beat. The partner to the rhythm section is bassist RYO, a man of great wisdom in everything from programming to recording engineering. The most aggressively provocative on stage is guitarist TAL. More the technical type, guitarist MASATO is a talented individual with skills from web design to graphic art. And with a vocal range exceeding three octaves and a beguiling, androgynous performance, frontman vocalist TAKA's character molds the image of this band.
They are a band that can be called the Visual Band of the New Era, with every member involved in composing the music, and the ability to freely command two sides to their act -- the creative group of the digital age, with each member's ability to manipulate ProTools to their will, and the physical rock band that rampages through their live performances. Thrilling and sexy with electro style and raw group fusion, and possessing two opposing shades with their blend of heaviness and romanticism, the Underneath are the new and powerful rock band that represents the next generation of Japan."
They will also be performing with a new Jrock band called Marbell, which I have listened too and think are very good.
and apparently there will be another band too...
*shrugs* guess we will find out soon !
Anyway, I am very excited, since I had missed them on ToC, and now I'll get to see them, In a place like with all people that want too !
