DAS:VASSER

The band was officially brought to life on January 1st 1998 in Osaka, by Kyouhei (vocals) and Hideaki (bass). The line-up was soon completed by Ichiro (guitar) and Noburin (drums). It didn't take long before the band gave their first few performances and released their first demo-tape.

By July they had already signed a contract with the indie label Matina. Three other demo-tapes were released, which were sold between August and October. It was around this time that they also gave their first one-man concert, which totally sold out. Their second one-man, which took place in December, was also sold out. In the same month they also released their first videotape.

In March 1999, after a lot of performances, their first own tour started. It seemed that around this time the band had a flash of inspiration, because they released two mini-albums shortly after each other.

However in September ran into a few problems, as Noburin left to join another band called Result to Tear, which also doesn't exist nowadays anymore. His position in the band didn't stay free for long, because about a month later Tarou became the drummer of DAS:VASSER. He was officially introduced to the fans during a one-man concert in December.

In 2000 they released some items as well, and performed a lot. In June and July they toured together with Dué le Quartz and during this a coupling CD of these two bands was released.

Early 2001 they left their label and released their last mini-album un_dead children. In May they ran into some more problems as Ichiro and Tarou left the band after a one-man concert. Ichiro joined Babybaby and Tarou joined Waive.

After Akira (guitar, ex DHIANA) became an official member after a period of supporting them, the band went from Osaka to Tokyo. The band had a small come-back there after a break of several months although they only played in small locations.

At the beginning of 2002 the band said goodbye. After the drummer Shingo (ex Meffits) joined them, they had their last live on February 16th on which they distributed their last demo tape Lily.

So what became of them? The following years, all the bandmembers went their own way. Not all of them stayed in the music business and currently it seems only Ichiro is active in a band.
