About Lo**ta Dark
Lo**ta Dark is a 6 piece Female Fronted Bilingual Rock Band with roots in Southern California and Japan who formed in 2012. Their sound weaves together crunching guitar riffs, progressive bass lines, lush harmonies, and complex melodic structures in songs that reflect both angst and optimism in an increasingly interconnected world of disconnected residents. The core of Lo**ta Dark is formed by singer/songwriter/Multi-Instrumentalist Rayko (Ray), Bassist/Engineer Rain B***n, and Drummer Joey Felix who are also members of the Los Angeles rock band “Dig Jelly.” After months of writing, recording, and self producing, Lo**ta Dark enlisted lead guitarist Patrick Cabrera, co vocalist and keyboardist Kaoru (K-Lu), and the newest member/second lead guitar Christopher Fuentes. Lo**ta Dark gained a massive popularity especially in the Anime Convention Circuit throughout the States, over 2000 copies of their debut release “Tokyo Status” and their second album "Queen's Decade" were sold out in just a few months after it's release, independently. Lo**ta Dark became a fan favorite as Guest Of Honors at quite large numbers of Anime Conventions and Lo**ta Dark was also invited by NAMM 2015 to host a panel to talk about their success in finding a niche in independent music market. Lo**ta Dark got signed to a Japanese record label called Spark in 2015, and their International debut album "Citizen's Revenge" was released on July 6th 2016 through Universal Records Japan. Lo**ta Dark is working on their third release while they perform as an opener to national acts from Japan, and headlines local clubs and anime convention circuits.
2012 年に結成。米国・カリフォルニアを拠点とする日米双方にルーツを持つ個性派ロックバンド。壮大なハーモニーと複雑なメロディのアンサンブルを特徴的な激し いギターやプログレッシブなベースラインに乗せることにより、幻想的で独創性溢れる世界観を生み出している。バンドのフロントマンであるRay は闇と光、怒りと喜び、過去と現在、東洋と西洋など、現世に存在しうる全ての相反する事象や矛盾の「融合」を音楽を通じて表現しているという。
