Why this name?
Sakurai is the japanese word for truth, which seems to fit our opinions and our way of life, which is keeping things real.
Do you play live?
Yes, we play live extensively as much as we possibly can all over the UK, our best moment was our first gig in London playing to about 100 people and supporting Sikth in Manchester to a full house.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives bands/artists a better chance of gaining exposure and reaching a wider audience.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the right record deal came along we would definitely consider it as long as it gave us artistic control and they didnt expect us to to turn into a pop group overnight.
Band History:
Jordan (guitar/bass) Poid (Bass/guitar) Darren Drums, were together for some years playing in previous band before Vocalist Mark joined in 2001.
The musical chemistry was explosive,from the start each band member inputted new ideas and melodies, collectively creating what can only be described as one of the most original unsigned bands around today.
