How much does this suck, considering I'm already working on a disbanding post for another band?
D'espairsRay were the first japanese band I saw live in London, and one of the very first I heard at all actually (I still shiver and smile when I hear genshoku). As I've mentioned before I've had a cruelly love/hate relationship with them, but they were still a major, MAJOR part of the music scene. As far as I see it, there are a tiny TINY handful of bands and artists that act as cornerstones in the industry, and D'espairsRay were one of them. A void not to be filled.
They meant a lot to a lot of people. To me, they brought me a group of friends I might never have had before, and gave me a great doorway into a fantastic avenue of visual kei. It sucks like hell to lose them, but my heartfelt gratitude is stronger than my sadness. I just wish the best for all of them after this.
On their gig we met.
ReplyDeleteThey brought us together.
Maybe thanks to all the friends they brought together they wull come together as well.
