Band of the Week: Alice Nine

Alice Nine has been around for 8 years now, and in that time they've developed a massive fanbase and are now an internationally established Japanese rock band.

They look dead serious, but this is just one photo out of *many*. Their early music sounds like they didn't take themselves entirely seriously, like it was just "oh heck, let's send them our demo, why not.." impulse.

..one that ended up a lot bigger than they bargained for. As the years went by and their success grew out of proportion, they adapted their image and became a lot more professional while still maintaining their original boyishness. Call me naive, but I prefer these guys over SuG for exactly that reason. They're not trying to be "cute" *or* "tough". They just are what they are and they like it that way.
It's this joy for the job that keeps the fans flowing to them, as well as of course the music that keeps evolving along with them.

Alice Nine is one of those bands most people who are into J-Rock will know or at least have heard of.
