LAVERITE VISUAL KEI J-ROCK, B&W CONCERT PHOTOS: 70S GLAM MEETS 80S GOTH.
Ever feel you belong in a different era? On Sunday, Jimi and I jumped into a time machine and set the dial to 1979. Bowie was in Berlin; The Cure had just put out its first album. He strapped on his bass; I uncapped my camera…
… and this is what unfolded.
Music, androgyny, beauty.
The facts, m’am? ‘Visual Kei band Laverite performs at Narciss in Urawa, Tokyo and drops a huge announcement: vocalist Yue will be leaving, but not before a final show on 11/23. Make haste and RSVP to receive a free single at the grand farewell.’
If you think Lolitas are prim and proper at all times, you’ve never met a Visual Kei fangirl.
The bottom of his shirt reads ‘The Rise of Louis XIV.’
Cross over to Jimi’s blog for his take on last night’s Goth/glam rock time-travel.
