Pacific Media Expo Makes Some NOIZ in Los Angeles


LOS ANGELES -- Japanese rock band UchuSentai NOIZ will make their United 
States debut at Pacific Music Live at Pacific Media Expo (PMX) on Oct. 28 
and 29.



"Our music concerts have continued to grow, with more inquiries from bands 
all over Asia and America contacting us each year," said Mike Tatsugawa, PMX 
Convention Chair. "We were especially excited to hear from UchuSentai NOIZ. 
As one of the dominant visual kei J-Rock bands in the cosplay genre, we felt 
we had a band that was a perfect match for Halloween weekend."



Also scheduled to perform are MECHANiCAL PANDA from Tokyo and local bands 
Dig Jelly and Random Ninjas.



"MECHANiCAL PANDA has been really strong in the indie circles in Japan and 
we think those two girls will have a major impact on the US market," said 
Tatsugawa. "Rayko from Dig Jelly was really a powerful performer last year 
that won a lot of converts. Last year's appearance opened a few doors for 
them in both anime circles and in Japan. We had a lot of requests to bring 
her back. Random Ninjas is always a local favorite. Each year they perform 
at our music concerts and try to out-perform the previous year in terms of 
energy and quality. We expect no less from them this year."



About UchuSentai NOIZ:  UchuSentai NOIZ is the cutting edge of Japanese 
rock. They have toured extensively throughout Japan and released three 
albums and numerous maxi-singles, DVDs, videos and books. Illustrating the 
demand for their music and their love for entertaining, UchuSentai NOIZ is 
scheduled to perform live shows 32 nights straight, from Aug. 31 to Oct. 1, 
in the Tokyo area. EGO-style, the band's latest album, broke the top 100 on 
the Oricon Style music charts shortly after release. UchuSentai NOIZ's 
visual kei style inspires their fans to cosplay and emulate the band's 
costumes. The band is composed of ANGEL-TAKA on vocals, MASATO on guitar, 
Kyo on bass, TAKEswiy on guitar and S@TT-ON on drums.
