Get ready for some great ROCK N ROLL from JAPAN!! Today’s Tuesdays Travels takes us to a band that started back in 2002 in Kanagawa, Japan. The GazettE is described as visual kei rock which has been characterized by the use of varying levels of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics. Well whatever it is I really LOVE the sound of The GazettE. They will be releasing a new single, “Fadeless” on August 21st and a new album sometime in October. Check out a video for their song, Remember the Urge:
The GazettE features the vocals and rhythm guitar of Ruki (ルキ), guitar by Uruha (麗), acoustic guitar and backing vocals by Aoi (葵), bass and piano by Reita (れいた) and drums and backing vocals by Kai (戒). They are also embarking on a World Tour that is selling out as quickly as the tickets are being sold. Make sure to check them out and visit their Youtube channel where you can listen to a lot more of their songs. I will keep you updated as to the status of the new album.
