BLACK VEIL BRIDES INTERVIEW VIDEO: ANDY SIX, SEATTLE CONCERT TOUR 2010. BVB ARMY, VISUAL KEI JAPANESE ROCK.
A new day, a new video! La Carmina interviews Andy Six, vocalist of rock band Black Veil Brides, at Studio Seven in Seattle on November 20th. Includes live footage from the performance, stage-diving and songs such as Knives and Pens.
Since Black Veil Brides has a very Visual look, I asked Andy Six about whether he’s familiar with J-rock music and culture. Surprisingly, he “knows nothing” about it, but is eager to learn more. I also interviewed Andy about the band’s message of inclusiveness, and how he may hit you on the head with a water bottle.
Want to know where Andy got his clothes? Or what he thinks of BVB haters? Come see the video above and on YouTube.
Grey plaid Lolita dress with heart pockets: Angelic Pretty, from Closet Child Harajuku
Hair piece: I wrapped around a silver hearts ribbon, sparkly silver fabric from a dress, and two flower clips from a fabric store. The materials are about $3 total.
Black tights: Vivienne Westwood, a gift from my cousin
Knee high grey striped socks: Got these years ago
Makeup: Dramatic fake lashes and greyish purple eyeshadows gifted from Annabelle Cosmetics. (I’ll show you close-ups later.)
Great minds think alike… Rose and I have almost the exact same glossy black ankle boots. Mine are on the left: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child Harajuku.
Are you surprised that Black Veil Brides is not influenced by Japanese Visual Kei rock? Have you seen the band perform? What did you think?
Coming up next: videos and interviews The Birthday Massacre, Dommin and Aural Vampire. Be a doll and please subscribe to my YouTube to see the rest!
Japanese Word of the Day: Hanayome = Bride

SATAN FINAL LIVE IN TOKYO: VISUAL KEI BAND’S VIDEO MESSAGE TO FANS. HALLOWEEN EVENTS, CONCERTS IN JAPAN.
Beware, my dark ones… I’ve uploaded a Satanic new Visual Kei video! La Carmina and friends bring you a concert review and exclusive footage from the final SaTaN concert, held on Halloween in Tokyo.
La Carmina and Yukiro’s “virgin victim,” Sebastiano Serafini セバスティアーノ セラフィニー , broke out of his chains and ran away. However, the evil duo ropes in other unsuspecting concertgoers, including a Japanese punk boy, kawaii Lolita girls and… DK, the drummer of SaTaN, who delivers a message to his fans!
Sadness: this was Satan’s final show with the original four members. Shiya and DK are leaving the horror Visual Kei group for nightmarish new projects. Mr. Satan and leader Hi-na will soon find replacements and continue with the band. In our exclusive video, you can see clips from their very last FINAL performance together.
Ready to Trick-or-Treat? Watch the SaTaN live footage above and on YouTube.
In the previous SaTaN concert video we made, the band wore bloody Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland costumes. Some of their fans cosplayed them.
As I say in the video, the performance was a nightmare in a good and bad way. Thumbs up to the half-naked outfits, high energy and candy-throwing…
Thumbs down to the water-spitting and repetitive metal music. SaTaN played on and on… three encores, three riffs, three hours.
SaTaN a horror-show and we’re happy we got to spend Halloween with them. Please watch our video to see what DK, the drummer, has to say to you!
If you missed our Candy Spooky Theater video report (from the same night), you can see it here.
