As an old guy that remembers being a teenager back in the seventies this song takes me back to those glory days, a good hard rocking song with great guitar solos especially performed live. UFO, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Status Quo, Foghat, etc, gotta love a song where guitar solos last longer than most songs, I mean after all they are a guitar band not a pop band,
Welcome to Lovebites, the Wolfpack 🐺Lovebites fans around the world, will be along to give you information and recommendations. Lovebites are a Japanese heavy metal band, formed in 2016 by Miho, Bass, who was previously in a band called DESTROSE that broke up in 2015. They take much of their influence from the 1970's and 80's British and European bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Metallica. Miho is a big fan of Steve Harris, bass player with Iron Maiden and is influenced by his playing style. She left the band in 2021 for personal reasons and is currently pursuing new projects. Any Lovebites video recorded in 2021 or earlier, the basist will be Miho, any from 2022 or later, it is 'new girl' Fami. The present members are, Asami, Vocals and Piano. She trained in Ballet Dancing and before Lovebites was a R&B singer. She writes many of the lyrics and sings in English, not easy for a native Japanese speaker. Midori, (Midori Tatematsu) ESP Guitars. The blond 'Amazon Warrior'. Before Lovebites a member of all female band GEKIJO METALICCHE. Miyako, ( Watanabe Miyako, has also gone by the name Mi Ya) Dean and Gibson Guitars, Piano and Keyboards. The 'serious' one with long black hair. Before Lovebites a member of the bands DROP OF JOKER, 21g and SONIC LOVER RECKLESS. She is a classically trained pianist who writes much of the music, often incorporating classical themes into her compositions. She recently posted a 3 part series on her YT channel 'MIYAKO OFFICIAL' about the process she uses to compose new music in her home studio. She has an EP of some classic heavy metal songs transcibed and played on piano as though they are classical works. It would be accurate to think of her as a classical pianist who also plays guitar in a heavy metal band. Both Guitarists play lead, seamlessly swapping lead and rhythm as required. They play wonderful harmonised dual solos. Fami, Bass. The 'new girl', recruited as replacement for Miho in late 2022 when she was 20 years old and still at university. She has her own YT channel that has nearly 700,000 subs. Check out her 'Alien Alien' Slap Bass cover from when she was about 16. Haruna, Drums. The 'Little BIG Engine'. a tiny lady, 1.45 meters tall, who is the power house that drives the band. Before Lovebites she had been in Destrose, Miho's former band, and was the first to join her in the new band. I saw Lovebites live in London recently, and watched Haruna in awe. She plays powerfully, fast and precisely throughout concerts that can be up to near 2 hours long. She uses a double kick bass pedal at unbelievable speed. All members of the band can play piano/keyboards. They were the first all female Japanese band to play at the Wacken festival, Germany in 2018, also playing at the Bloodstock festival in the UK and winning the UK Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band. In 2019 they toured the UK with Dragon Force and opened for Arch Enemy in China. Following Miho's departure in 2021 they went on hiatus, two members, Asami and Miyako getting married and having babies. Their 'comeback' concert, the first with Fami on Bass, was in March 2023. Here are a few recommendations for further listening. Break The Wall, Soldier Stand Solitary, Golden Destination (there is a video for this that has footage from their 2019 tour of the UK with Dragon Force, including Herman Li as the 'missing sixth member of Lovebites') Thunder Vengeance, M.D.O., Swan Song with the Chopin introduction played by Miyako, Winds of Transylvania (written for a Japanese Anime series VLADLOVE) Frozen Serenade, Edge of the World, Epilogue. There are many more I could suggest, but this should give you an idea of their range. The Wolfpack will have more suggestions. I would suggest watching live performances wherever possible. The ladies really shine on stage. I have been to London twice recently to see them during their just concluded European tour. I have been a fan of Rock and Metal music right from the beginning with bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, Lovebites are amongst the best I have ever seen in over 60 years going to gigs🤘🐺
That show was 5 years ago. They have developed a lot, and the band had to find a new bassist when Miho (old bassist) quit the band for personal reasons during Covid. They were on hiatus for almost 2 yrs, and two of them had babies. They added a 20 yo bass phenom - *Fami* and have been infused with her youthful energy. Now they are back, and they are still Lovebites, but Lovebites 2.0. Here is a video that dropped 5 days ago from their DVD which will be released on Aug 28th! *_Soldier Stands Solitarily_* ruclips.net/video/30yWisiRBuM/видео.html
could not have been LOVEBITES at santa monica. they only formed in very late 2016 and started releasing music in 2017 - their first 2 music videos. and they also have never been to the states as a group until sept of this year - coming to atlanta , dallas and i think l.a. - the first u.s. tor for them. it could have been another japanese girl group such as SCANDAL who formed in '06 and have been here many times.
Bring the pictures on, but 2016, LOVEBITES was founded. Their first US performance is next week Sep 6 (Atlanta, GA) at ProgPower USA, then Sep 8 (Dallas, TX), Sep 10 (LA, CA), and Sep 12, 2024 (SF, CA). Single members were in the US before, IIRC, Destrose (Miho, Haruna) even had a US tour. And then, there's the fact, that there are several All-female bands from Japan, that are quite good (not as good as LOVEBITES, but good).
"Haruna give me the beat." Classic. I wish they'd put that on a LOVEBITES t-shirt. 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Dates and place don't sound like it was LOVEBITES in Santa Monica. Pity.
2021? u mean 2024 did u loose 3 years of ur life somewhere along the line. Miyako and Midori have been to Los Angeles (Namm) back in 2020 (Miyako) ruclips.net/video/fdmXB8h0Yf4/видео.html (Midori) ruclips.net/video/PCExGZXA1hs/видео.html
