Age Quod Agis December 2011: Your Argument is Invalid

Ever heard of Dir en grey? Well shame on you if you haven't (though I wouldn't be surprised). They happen to be the greatest metal band to have come out of Japan since Loudness and X Japan in the 80s, and they happen to be one of the most solid rock acts out there on the scene today. A band who broke out of the Land of the Rising Sun without the need to sing entirely in English, Dir en grey is definitely a quintessential metal band of these modern days, and kick so much ass people are walking around rubbing their rears. I can spend the next few days (and more than a few blog posts) to qualify this statement and convince you of just how amazing this band is, but that can be saved for another day.

I have gotten my tickets to see these Japanese gods live at The House of Blues in West Hollywood.



That's right folks. Yours truly (along with a dear friend of mine) are going to see Guitarists Kaoru and Die, drummer Shinya, singer Kyo, and bassist Toshiya tear up the City of Angels on December 23rd. Expect a rambling blog post on just how divine they are as a live band soon after that date. Until then, I shall be running my Dir en grey discography, particularly their newest album Dum Spiro Spero into the ground.

Age Quod Agis here I come!
