As the guitarist rock band LUNA SEA, SUGIZO helped create a Japanese music movement called ‘Visual Kei’; this sub-genre has shaped a distinctive sound, fashion, and lifestyle for Japanese rock which enabled JapanÂ’s pop-culture and modern music to enlarge a fan following around the world. LUNA SEA’s music has been featured for many of JapanÂ’s popular animation and television programs such as “Onmyou Taisenki” (The Chronicles of the Great Yin-Yang War) and “Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake” (God, Please Give Me More Time). Their chart topping singles such as “Rosier” and “Tonight” has sold millions of albums worldwide and filled concert stadiums throughout Asia. LUNA SEA is highly acclaimed and regarded as one of JapanÂ’s most successful and influential bands in modern music.

SUGIZO is performing with European group JUNO REACTOR on a US tour in support of their album “Gods and Monsters.” SUGIZO and JUNO REACTOR will perform live at The Independent on Monday, September 22 at 10:00pm Tuesday, September 23 at 8:00 PM.

You have a BIG mistake on your posting.

The concert is on Tuesday the 23rd at 8pm, with doors opening at 7:30.

I am looking at 250 plus flyers right now and they can’t all be wrong! ha ha ha!

Kate,
I did go to your home site to try and find a way to email you, but didn’t. I did however see that you have the original artwork flyer however, that one is wrong. Check out the links you have from your page and you will see that all the dates are the 23rd.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Deann

Thanks alot Kate!
I’ve been making the rounds on some other sites as well that are all updated through eigoManga (I think) and posting the correction to their forums.

Thanks Again for the Update!
