History: Began as Velvet Nightmare in 2005. By mid-2006, the band had changed drastically, leaving 6 as the only original member. Gen, Shiki, and L soon joined (their exact starting dates are fuzzy, since L is listed as officially joining on July 31st, but I was introduced to him as “Velvet Nightmare’s vocalist” and saw him for the first time in early June). Velvet Nightmare continued activities until May of 2008, when they suddenly were reborn as “DI3SIRAE” (causing much confusion due to difficulty of spelling and pronunciation!). Although they changed their name, not much else has changed, since they continue to include their older songs in their live performances. The band has had various support drummers, including Jin (ex.Villain) and Die (now in Clavius). Loui, formerly of May, started out as a support drummer as well in October of 2008, but was promoted to full member on April 11, 2009.
Band Concept: DI3SIRAE intends to create their own mixture of “Western” music and Japanese VK sound. They pretty much do whatever they feel like and don’t care if it doesn’t please the VK bandgirls. Although they are happy if you enjoy listening to them on CD, the members consider themselves at their best when playing live, so they’d love to have you come see them someday!
