if gerard finally gets access to a cursed blade at punkspring and i'm not able to personally witness it because of the no filming/photographs policies of the festival then i'm going to actually burn myself at the stake. personally

P!ATD’s Japan trip + early April 2006

The guys in P!ATD hadn’t traveled much before this year, so their Japan trip was a pretty big deal. Anything I end up posting will be in this tag (and here are a few videos). 

There weren’t a ton of decent quality fan pictures & videos because venues were so strict about cameras... a couple Japanese fans said the crowds were told that the show would legit stop if anyone was seen taking a picture. The best footage is this video:

SCHEDULE

P!ATD wrapped up their previous tour on March 26th, filmed the music video for BIBIYD, and then left for Japan on March 29th.

March 31: acoustic in-store performance at the HMV in Tokyo

April 1: Punkspring in Tokyo

April 2: Punkspring in Osaka

April 4: a show in Nagoya

The Academy Is also played the same shows and traveled with P!ATD, so the bands had been together for over 2 months at this point (these shows weren’t part of their other tours where P!ATD was opening for TAI, though). Here’s Tom Conrad’s March 31st blog post:

we've been in toyko now for almost seventy-two hours. I’ve been sharing a room with butcher and been taking in everything we can. We're actually packing up our belongings and getting ready to check out of our hotel to wonder the streets of Toyko a bit more. I wish we were staying here more than a week. Im absolutely in love here. Today though, we will be playing in 15,000 people for Toyko's first PunkSpring festival and I dont think anyone of us are nervous. This is going to be the biggest show we've ever played in front an audience. Its fucked up to think if I have had to get up infront of thirty classmates, I would fail and fall. When I'm with my family on stage, I feel like we can do anything.  -tom 

RANDOM INFO:

Brendon, Spencer, & Brent were 18. Ryan was 19.

A fan who was at the Nagoya show said that TAI came onstage during P!ATD’s last song to goof around, and Brendon also sang something with TAI for a bit. 

A few weeks later Ryan told an interviewer in the UK that P!ATD had never played a festival before Give It A Name at the end of April... and later Ryan claimed that they hadn’t played a festival before Summerfest in July. So Punkspring tended to get overlooked, but these shows definitely happened.  

Spencer told The Japan Times in summer 2008 that Punkspring 2006 was weird because P!ATD didn’t really fit in with the other bands: “we were kinda the outcasts. But at that time, nobody really knew what kind of band we were, so they just put us on at one in the afternoon.”

future interview quotes about this trip...

Ryan to Kerrang in summer 2006: “The [shows] we did in Japan were really interesting because the way that the crowd acts over there is so different. They don’t sing along. We were one of the smaller bands at the festival but we were playing in front of 35,000 people  and they wait for the song to get going and they’ll find the beat of the song and then they start chanting, just yelling “hey” and throwing their fists in the air. It’s really strange, they’ll clap for 10 seconds and then just stop.”

Brent Wilson (after he’d left the band): “It’s weird – in Japan they way they respond… the way they do it is it’s a respect thing – they don’t make any noise. They don’t clap. They don’t cheer. They don’t do anything, so you feel like they are not into your music – you’re kind of freaked out.”

Young Scot asked Brendon in April 2006 what his favorite place was to tour. Brendon answered: “I don’t know. We’ve been to Japan and the UK and they’re both completely different places. The reaction is very different when you play. In Japan the kids are completely silent, and very disciplined and quiet, kind of like robots. Here it’s like the kids just go nuts. Both places are amazing to play. They’re just so different.”

RYAN’S LIVEJOURNAL:

April 4: i don’t like what i see.japan. so strange, i am unable to communicate with anyone here whatsoever.i feel like i’m on an entirely different planet, but somehow there are people that know the words to my songs.making a phonecall here is damn near impossible.sorry i missed you..i’ve never wanted home so bad.i miss my dog, i want my bed.it’s me and you.i just want to drivedrivedrive.i want to be somewhere i know with someone i want to know.finally, i’ve got nowhere to go.don’t move so slow. don’t move so slow..

April 9: it caught up.everytime i get an ache i think it’s going to put me in there again.I wonder if this was physical or if it could have been in my head,people make themselves sick sometimes.so i try not to think about it and you.it was still sharp through the morphine.living through the holes in my arms.drip fed a liquid diet not quite enough nutrition.and there’s never anything good on tv.i drank contrast.i ate IV’s.look at radioactive me. but, today the sun charged me up some,I can glow in the dark..wish you could see.

BRENDON’S LIVEJOURNAL:

March 30: i was afraid to be alone... ana hotel, tokyo, japan. how the hell did i get here? havent slept for 40 hours.finished the new video. masquerade strip club? definitely. largest show so far in a place ive never been, know nothing about, and a language i dont speak a word of. i wake up everyday but not really. definitely need a rest. i love japan ....now im scared thats how i like to be.

April 5: my feelings are more important than yours home. in the bed. wanting to sleep so badly, but have to wait so as to get back on schedule. flying brings me down. down. down. it seems i live in cars, busses, and aeroplanes. koala yummies. marble cinnamon bread. hentai.: some of the many luxuries of japan ....not to mention japamela anderson. tokyo, osaka, nagoya.i miss moto, mizuka, and machi. most fun ive had in my entire life. i think im turning japanese. goddamn. i dont care. i wont wear it.

AFTER  JAPAN:

The guys flew home after Japan to spend the next week preparing for their first headlining tour. Spencer did several solo interviews, including this one with AOL. He also took a lot of pictures with Haley that idk if I’ll post, but I suppose they’re popular enough that I might as well mention those were from this time.

The BIBIYD video that the band had filmed right before leaving for Japan was online in mid-April. A lot of people seemed to like the new video more than the IWSNT one, but they still complained about the lack of screen time for the other 3 guys who weren’t Brendon.

Brendon’s livejournal entry 2 days after his birthday:

ill be alone, but maybe more carefree birthday came and went. 19. thank you all for your comments. like a kite that floats so effortlessly.

BAND UPDATES:

April 4: Well well well. We’ve stirred up some controversy now haven’t we? In regards to our headlining tour this summer with The Dresden Dolls..we couldn’t be more excited, and from the look of things many people are thinking the exact opposite. We feel this could be a great thing for both bands if you let it be. All I’m asking here is that you give it a shot. From the start we (panic) have had labels attached to us, along with assumptions of who we are how we think, what we care about, and what we aspire to be etc. so when it came time for us to plan our headlining tour we decided to do things our way, and on our own terms.I promise you, this show will not be like what you’re used to going to see. And if you’ve seen us perform before, I urge you to come out and see us on this tour. We’re finally able to do what we’ve been wanting to do live since we started this band.. and we’d love to play for as many people as possible. This definitely won’t be what has been considered to be an “ordinary” panic show. We are honored that the support bands we’ve asked to do the tour accepted, we’re really looking forward to you guys hearing some artists that you may not have had the opportunity to hear or see live up until now.So please, do yourselves a favor and get to these shows early, you really don’t want to miss these other acts.This has been the first time we’ve gotten to choose who we are going out with, and hopefully it will feel like home.. -Ryan

April 13: In case you haven't seen it yet, Ryan is in the new Rolling Stone (with Keifer Sutherland on the cover) doing a little q&a.; It's pretty scandalous, lots of dirt being dished out. Also, we're in the new Blender talking about how to start a book club. We know we need to do a better job of keeping up with it, but at least it looks like everybody is reading a bunch, which is cool. See all of you in the UK real soon... - panic!

Con este premio queremos identificar algunas de estas bandas que dentro del mundo del Rock han dado un paso adelante en 2019 y a las que habrá que seguir la pista de cerca durante los próximos años.

10 – Radkey

Radkey es una banda de esas que se ha hecho hueco a base de directos. Con el apoyo de un buen manager han logrado tocar en granes festivales y el resto del tiempo lo han rellenado con innumerables fechas por todo usa haciendo así crecer su legión de fans.

Es banda formada por tres hermanos de St. Joseph, Missouri. Isaiah Radke (bajo), Solomon Radke (batería) y Dee Radke (voz principal y guitarra) que formaron su banda familiar en 2010, y tocaron su primer show en 2011 cuando abrieron para Fishbone.

Con su padre, Matt Radke, como su manager, han tocado desde entonces con personajes como Jack White, The Offspring, Descendents, Local H, Black Joe Lewis, Titus Andronicus y se han presentado en festivales como SXSW, Riot Fest, Afropunk, Punkspring de Japón, Download UK…. Han lanzado dos EPs desde su inicio: Cat & Mouse de 2012 con Wreckroom Records de Adrian Grenier y Devil Fruit on Little Man Records de 2013.

Su álbum debut fue relanzado en 2016 bajo un nuevo nombre, ‘Delicious Rock Noise’ y con dos pistas adicionales.

9 – BADFLOWER

Badflower es una banda de rock estadounidense fundada en Los Ángeles, California. La banda está compuesta por el cantante / guitarrista Josh Katz, el guitarrista principal Joey Morrow, el bajista Alex Espiritu y el baterista Anthony Sonetti. La banda firmó con Big Machine John Varvatos Records y fue nombrada Artista de la Semana por Apple Music después del lanzamiento de su EP Temper en 2016. Su álbum de estudio debut, titulado OK, I’m Sick, fue lanzado el 22 de febrero de 2019.

8 – PAGAN

Pagan es una banda australiana de Melbourne formada en 2013. Su música combina los sonidos del black metal, disco y punk rock. Su canción Heavy Repeater alcanzó el número uno en la lista de punk / metal de Triple en 2015.

El punto de inflexión de la banda ha llegado este 2019 en el que desde mayo de 2019, recorrieron el Reino Unido, tocando en festivales como el Festival Slam Dunk y el Festival The Great Escape, y abrieron para Microwave en su gira europea. En septiembre de 2019, recorrieron Australia en apoyo de the Amity Affliction

7 – Jesus Piece

Es una banda de Philadelphia de Hardcore que grabó Only Self en Bricktop Recording Studio en Chicago con Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos, Like Rats, Dead In The Dirt). El álbum se ha clasificado con los lanzamientos hardcore más pesados ​​del año y ahora aparece en muchas e estas listas de fin de año.

JESUS ​​PIECE ha realizado giras junto a Darkest Hour, Comeback Kid, Burn, Knocked Loose, Terror, Vein, Year Of The Knife y muchos más en Norteamérica, Europa y Japón este año. La nueva gira West Coast Demonstration 2019 está ya en marcha con paradas el 22 de enero en Vancouver, luego Portland, Berkeley, Fullerton y termina en Las Vegas el 27 de enero. A JESUS ​​PIECE se unirán Gag y Vamachara en las fechas de los Estados Unidos.

6 – COLD YEARS

Muchas bandas escocesas crean música influenciada por su país. Ya sea Biffy Clyro, o The Twilight Sad, Idlewild o Twin Atlantic, parece que a menudo hay una influencia regional innegable dentro de sus canciones que los señala como provenientes del norte de la frontera de este Reino Unido cada vez más no. El caso de Cold Years es distinto pese a ser de Aberdeen. Escuchando su EP debut Mile Marker y su nuevo Deathchasers está claro que sus raíces se encuentran un poco más lejos, al otro lado del Atlántico.

5 – MEGARA

MEGARA es una banda madrileña. Ellos mismos crearon un estilo algo peculiar para el metal, llamado fuxia metal.

Catalogados como una mezcla perfecta entre lo siniestro y el algodón de azúcar, MEGARA se ha situado en poco tiempo en el punto de mira de tanto prensa como de público. Su faceta bipolar, (algo chocante de primeras) mezcla la tenebrosidad con el lado totalmente opuesto a esta, el cuál está cargado de unicornios, chucherías y fucksia… ¡MUCHO FUCKSIA! ¿Su estilo? La misma banda lo ha denominado «Fucksia rock» y el que no sepa que es… que lo oiga directamente, ¿no? .Con su primer disco «Siete» se sumergieron en su tour de presentación «INFERNO» con el cuál han tenido oportunidad de abrir para bandas internacionales como Anthrax, Three Days Grace, Avatar o You Me At Six, además de participar en importantes eventos como el Orgullo Gay de Madrid o Survival Zombie en el Parque Warner de Madrid, entre otros.

4 – THE REGRETTES

The Regrettes es una banda estadounidense de punk rock de Los Ángeles. La banda está dirigida por la líder Lydia Night. Lanzaron su álbum de estudio debut, Feel Your Feelings Fool! en Warner Bros. Records en enero de 2017 y en agosto de 2019 How Do You Love?, tranajo que les ha abierto muchas puertas y muchas radios.

El estilo musical de The Regrettes ha sido etiquetado como punk rock, riot grrrl, garage pop, y garage punk, con elementos de garage rock, música doo-wop y surf de los 60, rockabilly, y música pop. Michael Bialas, escritor de PopMatters, describió su sonido como «punk de power-pop de grupo de chicas» . Mejor que lo juzgues por ti mismo.

3 – The Glorious Sons

Llegamos a los puestos de podio conThe Glorious Sons. Es una banda de rock canadiense de Kingston, Ontario. Formada en 2011, la banda firmó con Black Box en 2013. Desde entonces, The Glorious Sons ha lanzado un EP, Shapeless Art y tres álbumes completos; The Union, que se lanzó el 14 de septiembre de 2014, y su segundo álbum Young Beauties and Fools, que se lanzó el 13 de octubre de 2017, y finalmente A War On Everything se lanzó el 13 de septiembre de 2019. La banda tiene ocho top 10 consecutivos éxitos de la radio de rock en Canadá.

2 – The Fever 333

Fever 333 es una banda de rock estadounidense integrada en Inglewood, California, en 2017 por el ex vocalista de Letlive Jason Aalon Butler, el ex guitarrista de Chariot Stephen Harrison y el baterista de Night Verses Aric Improta.

FEVER 333 ha vuelto a revivir el rap-metal y se ha convertido en la sensación en los circuitos de metal mundial en estos años en parte gracias a su segundo álbum de estudio, STRENGHT IN NUMB333RS, llegando incluso a ser los teloneros de Korn y Alice In Chains en su gira de verano por América y de Bring Me the Horizon en su gira europea.

1 – JINJER

En el primer puesto aparece JINJER. Ya sabemos que nos es una banda nueva, ni mucho menos, pero está claro que 2019 ha sido su año.

Hace más de una década desde Ucrania surgió la banda JINJER, con una propuesta tremendamente atractiva. Conforme nos fueron dando su trabajos, hasta la fecha 3 discos y 3 EP’s,  nos mostraron y expusieron un MetalCore con un Groove característico y representativo. Con esfuerzo y aplicación, junto a horas de carretera recorriendo el planeta se han ganado un buen número de seguidores por la aplicación mostrada tanto en el estudio como en el escenario.

Con un etilo peculiar, original y único han sado un disco tremendo bajo el tíulo «MACRO» han estado de gira presentándo este trabajo por multitud de paises (podéis leer aquí nuestra crónica de su concierto en Madrid), y por si fuera poco están en la mayoría de los grandes festivales de 2020 a nivel europeo.

¡Felicidades JINJER!

JINJER estará en el Rock The Night Festival

JINJER al Leyendas del Rock

Japanese Music - Hey everyone!What are some of your favorite music festivals that you have attended (or regularly attending) here in Japan? Either festivals that feature big international bands (Summer Sonic/Fuji Rock/PUNKSPRING), or prefecture-specific festivals only featuring Japanese bands, speak up!Personally for me, my number #1 absolute go-to music festival is 京都大作戦 (Kyoto Daisakusen) held yearly on either the first or second weekend of July.Discuss!
