New band announcement this week!

[mattgimmeshelter]

It's also completely manufactured as the girls aren't even metal fans

as you can probably tell.

[Dead throne]

so who we thinking then?

[Dead throne]

"We have one more update video coming tonight with a new tour announcement/ the final two guests on the forthcoming album!!! Where do you wanna see us play?"

I think he's saying 10 year old j-pop artists don't. Although they might.

[Muppetmark]

you don't have to be a metal fan to write and perform metal.

I'm pretty sure they are, however, metal fans, as has been indicated in interviews.

And you're suggesting what, that teen girls don't listen to trve kvlt genres like metal?

[Yellow_Fellow]

they had never listened to metal before their label told them to do this.

[dentalplan]

Yeah I've seen that interview - it isn't as easy as simple one way translation. It's either that or they'd never played it - I'll check with my friend who translated again

[mrtourette]

'Friends' lol.

On the 1min they say both them and their parents didn't know what metal is when they formed but got into it later.

lol okey then

Didn't we all though, honestly?

[jump]

It's fair enough to mock them for being gimmicky/shit/posers but if their outfits are considered sexualised than I have a very different idea to what sex is.

[Dead throne]

What? we all fronted metal bands at 10 years old dressed in sexualized school girl outfits before knowing what metal even was? I didn't realise it was so common

[justanothername]

I read somewhere that at a certain age they have to leave (it is when they graduate from the Japanese education system) so have been a few members already before the current ones. However things like this are normal for the J-Pop industry and it is just part of their machine.

[kipper64]

Therapy?, Atari Teenage Riot, Bo Ningen, Trash Talk, Canterbury, Lostalone, Bleed From Within, Dregen, TRC, Beastmilk, Malefice and Glass City Vice all added today for Bohemia.

Proper good announcement for myself. Massively pleased Atari teenage Riot are playing on Friday and Trash talk on sunday in amongst Gallows and Bronx is going to be great!

[Gucci Piggy]

I burst out laughing several times at the last page.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah it seems like the equivalent of British parents letting their six year old do some shit Susan Boyle cover on Britain's Got Talent to me, nothing wrong with it at all.

Its exactly the type of booking you want at a festival though

[luckysalt]

Im not going to Soni, but I recommend Trash Talk for those who are, saw them at Download few years back and they were fanatastic.

Be nice if they get added to BST on the Friday, although im not even sure any more acts are being added to that.

[gary1979666]

Do you reckon Therapy? will clash with Metallica? I think last time they played they did Bohemia after the main headliners had finished.

[kipper64]

Nah they won't. Will be on before Metallica afaik. There's plenty of lighter acts in Bohemia that day that could easily play during Metallica.

[5co77ie]

you don't think they'll be really late like the headliners in Bohemia usually are then?

[5co77ie]

[kipper64]

It's never set in stone by order, they kind of jumble it about depending on genres and clashes I think. Bohemia headliners in 2010 ended up playing before headliners, and 2011 they had some of them after the headliner and some of them before (Four Year Strong clashed with Bill bailey in 2011, Gallows and FFAF with Skunk Anansie and Motley Crue in 2010 etc...). But Sisters of Mercy and Killing Joke were after headliners. Just checked their facebook and Therapy claim they'll be on at 7:20pm on the Sunday as well, I imagine that's not set in stone though but looks like the provisional plan is before metallica. Sounds like they'll be clashing with Dream Theater.

Kip - if that turn out to be the case, then I'll be a very happy man - T? into Metallica - perfect!
