Band Profile
Alright after a whole one day hiatus, I've returned and decided I'm going to do a band profile. The band for today is Deadman, yes I know the name sucks. As is my nature they are a Japanese group from Nagoya, which according to a map I just checked is about 200 miles Southwest from Tokyo. Whatever they moved to Tokyo. Most bands if they want to make it, move to Tokyo, it's like the Glasgow of Japan.
So things began in January 2001, With Mako(Vocals), Yukihino(Bass), Aie(Guitar), and Toki(Drums). Yukihino leaves and Takamasa steps in, in my opinion a better bassist.
Aie(guitarists) writes all the songs, and Mako(vocalists) writes all the lyrics.
While still being an indie group in Japan they seem to be gaining some popularity. Releasing a new single on March 3, I believe called "Saint's March" really rough translation, and doing a tour on the 5th with 11 stops.
They did release a single back in November which I bought, I seem to have lost it though. Either way it's called "Degree[d]s Centigrade", I don't know if that's Engrish or some type of pun, whatever, pretty good song in my opinion. Pretty much a pop rock song, upbeat but not a happy one. You might like it, you might not.
Here's the music video for "Degree[d]s Centigrade" as well. The video has some cheesy, trying to be creepy shots, but the band performance shots are cool. Plus I like the way the film was filtered, and the somewhat skewed framerate and the changes in focus. Pretty neat technically.
Here's a pic of the crew performing.
