BIOGRAPHY

After PIERROT split up, ex-members Jun and Aiji devoted themselves to solo projects (Kirito having been involved in a solo project of his own previously). Around this time, Kirito, Kohta, and Takeo appeared to be dissatisfied with the events surrounding PIERROT's disbandment and, rather logically, decided to give birth again to a new group with these three members. This band is Angelo.

The newborn band first appeared with a free live at Shibuya, which was soon followed by the announcement of a single and dates for an upcoming tour. The appropriate called first single REBORN was released on the 8th of November; fitting because the music really sounded like PIERROT. Since the members are not the same, the band is not PIERROT but the music and style is quite close. Angelo can easily be seen as a PIERROT rebirth, even if without Aiji and Jun it can’t be exactly as it once was.

The band fell quiet for a number of months and fans had to wait the 28th of February to be able to listen two more songs. The second single, WINTER MOON, is close to the first: harsh guitars, a certain feeling of despair in the melody and sure the slightly hoarse voice of Kirito.

Soon afterwards, a summer tour was announced and at last their debut album as well. REBIRTH OF THE NEWBORN BABY will be released on April 18th this year.
