“www.animenight.co” Anime Night exists as the median between concert and convention. It bridges the gap on what an experience can offer to a fan of anime and alternative music alike. An evening full of dancing, cosplay, and the music from all your favorite anime. The Anime Party is an event we created to define what that looks like.

hi everyone -

We regret to inform you that we will be unable to host our upcoming Midwest events in Chicago, Indianapolis, and Ferndale this weekend

We understand there were a lot of folks planning on attending, and we want to be transparent.

Unexpectedly, our lead guitarist informed us at the last minute that he would not be able to join us for these shows and has been unresponsive since.

We are prepared to move forward with our other upcoming announced shows without him, but with such short notice we’re unable to adapt to the circumstances.

We are working with the venues to schedule new dates ASAP, so please hold onto your tickets until a new date is confirmed. All previous ticket holders will be the first to know.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this unprecedented challenge.

- All of us at Anime Night

You might be asking - “What’s an Anime Night?”

Listen, we get it. This whole anime music in clubs thing? Doesn’t exactly come with a guidebook. Anime Night is what we like to define as the median between concert and convention. Think all the fun stuff you love at conventions like cosplayers, vendors, etc… but at a rock show.

🎸 - Closing the night out will be a sixty minute performance from the east coast’s best anime tribute band, The Anime Band to perform a wide range of English translated anime tracks, spanning all eras and genres!

🎙️- Lastly, the star power moment of the evening; Legendary Chicago vocalist of the band Marina City, Ryan Argast, who’s been featured on American Idol, America’s Got Talent, as well as the Vans Warped Tour and Riot Fest will be joining The Anime Band for a live rendition of the original Pokémon Theme!

At The Rinne Festival, for the first time, we decided to do a piano intermission break featuring some of our more "ballad" style songs, and we're grateful for how much you all enjoyed it!

As we've been discussing featuring some more of these songs going forward into our regular set, we thought we'd go through and pull some video from our anime brunch at City Winery this past July. We loved some of the songs so much, we decided to put a few of them on YouTube. You can check out "Mukanjyo" as performed by Luke, and "Orange" as performed by Meg on our YouTube this Monday at 10:00am EST! Link found in the comments to subscribe to be alerted when they release!
