Church of the Ecstatic 06/01/22 – A Very Anime/J-Rock/Visual Kei Day

It had been around since the 80’s in Japan, but I personally discovered it was a THING in 2007-08, and fell in love with Dir en Grey, but didn’t explore it as much as I wanted to, partly because I couldn’t. There wasn’t streaming, I didn’t know how to download MP3’s, and Japanese cds are still kind of notoriously hard to get. So this was a super fun show to assemble on the fly, and finally get around to listening to some of these legendary bands and artists. Thanks for joining me!
