Their first single, "Love Addict", was released on July 2, 2008, which was followed soon by a tour of Zepp venues in August, consisting of 46 shows.Their second single I GOTTA KICK START NOW will be released on March 13, 2009. Their 2009 live tour is scheduled to start on April 5, and will include 30 shows.

VAMPS' new PV, "TROUBLE" is finally out:

If they were going for covers, I wish they'd done a different song... it sounds sorta... weird... to me >_>  But anyway, that's just my opinion and I hope other people enjoy it more  :D  


NEWS: VAMPS will be at MUSIC STATION next Friday. (http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/music/contents/m_lineup/cur/)

They're like L'Arc with a bit more edge.

Why are they playing a couple Warped Tour dates? haha An arena rock band on a "punk rock" tour? :lol:
And I just watched a show at the Wiltern the other day. Probably won't see them though, tickets are way too much for me.

But good luck Rei-chan, that's awesome!

Post by: ohno on July 14, 2009, 07:25:57 PM
The people in front were getting crushed! And it wasn't your typical mosh pit squishing either. Some of them passed out or escaped, even though they were right next to the band. But that was good for me since I could get closer. And some people tried to crowdsurf to the front but failed because those poor girls underneath couldn't support the weight. Anyway, Hyde started splashing his water on us and I was busy screaming so it went straight into my mouth. :drool:

They're also promoting their overseas debut album, Sex Blood Rock n' Roll (released September 25, 2013)!!!  :mon rockstar:

VAMPS’ career-spanning overseas debut album “SEX BLOOD ROCK N’ ROLL” is out NOW!!

VAMPS, Japan’s most daring rock duo formed by HYDE (L’Arc~en~Ciel) and K.A.Z (Oblivion Dust) have recently celebrated charting in at 3rd place in the Oricon Weekly Charts with their most recent single “AHEAD/REPLAY”.
 
“SEX BLOOD ROCK N’ ROLL” is VAMPS’ overseas debut album. HYDE commented, “This album isn’t just a compilation of our previous releases. We’ve newly recorded some of the instrumental parts, re-recorded the vocals for each track with entirely English lyrics, and we’ve also redone the mixing. It’ll be our first overseas album which shows us at our absolute best, as well as serving as our “best of” album in Japan”. The album is released not only in the countries that they just finished playing as part of their European tour, but also in other areas which are soon to be announced as their next destination. Their European tour in Spain, France, Germany and the U.K., held in partnership with LIVE NATION, known for producing worldwide tours for stars such as Lady Gaga, Madonna and U2.

The album was released on Sept 30th in the U.K, Oct 15th in The U.S.A, and Sept 25th in Japan (release is following in other countries). The track list consists of 13 tracks – “DEVIL SIDE”, “REDRUM”, “REVOLUTION II”, “THE PAST”, “VAMPIRE DEPRESSION”, “SWEET DREAMS”, “Life On Mars?”, “HUNTING II”, “LOVE ADDICT”, “ANGEL TRIP”, “MEMORIES”, “MY FIRST LAST” and “SEX BLOOD ROCK N’ ROLL”.

They just came back from their Europe tour and now they are ready to rock in the US!

VAMPS will release the international edition of their new studio album, BLOODSUCKERS, through Spinefarm Records on March 23rd in the UK/EU and March 24th in the U.S.

This 13 track release – produced by VAMPS and Josh Wilbur (whose previous credits include Gojira and Lamb Of God) and housed in the artwork of mysterious Japanese artist Rockin’ Jelly Bean – is the follow-up to SEX BLOOD ROCK N’ ROLL, also issued via Spinefarm in 2013.

Says HYDE, who launched VAMPS with K.A.Z in 2008: “BLOODSUCKERS is a record that we spent almost one year putting together. For me, this is the best work we’ve done so far, and we would love to tour around the world with these songs…”

VAMPS BLOODSUCKERS – International Edition is available for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon.

Haido-samaaaaa~!!! *fangirls around the room*  :heart: :heart: :heart:

Is it just me or does the woman in the cover look like a female version of Hyde?   :rofl:

So in NYC they're the main act and for the rest they're a smaller act? If so, I should try to go to NYC... Hmmmm temptation...   :inlove:
