The Weekly Quickie: Sadie, sads, BABYMETAL, moumoon, Tsukasa, Yousei Teikoku, DADAROMA, Shonen Knife

It's Monday, which means it's Quickie time!  What do you want first, the good news or the bad news?  Let's go with the bad news and get it out of the way, shall we?

This one's a real bummer.  Sadie has announced they will be going on hiatus following their live at Zepp Tokyo on September 21.  They have one last release and a tour before they go.  Voyage releases on May 27 and their tour, Never Ending Voyage -we never say good bye-, starts June 6 and will run through July 28. 

Hey, Do You Know: DADAROMA?

This weeks band was suggested to me by one of our staff. This band has completely shattered my expectation in music, they are insanely amazing. They have completely blown my mind; this has not happened in a long time. So let me introduce you to the band that has accomplished this: DADAROMA!! You may recognize some of the members.

I really love Yoshiatsu's vocal range, it's very impressive. So far I LOVE everything on their YouTube channel, there's noway I can choose just one song. I LOVE how hardcore they go in their pv, it just makes me want to wild and head bang along with them. They just had their first anniversary one man live on Jan 11. Watch their OHP for more coming up! You guys DEFINITELY need to check this band out, they're so worth it!

GALEYD,  a year after their hiatus, is officially calling it quits.  It's not much of a surprise, but heartbreaking nonetheless for their fans that have been patiently waiting.  They do plan to hold a final live in 2015, but the date and venue are not yet set.  We'll be sure to keep you posted.  Until then, you can find drummer, Nikky, rocking out with ALSDEAD, so go show him your support!
