DEMONDICE. TeddyLoid. ACME. You've probably heard of them before. They're going to be in Los Angeles coming up really soon.
DEMONDICE is someone whose voice you've probably heard before, either as DEMONDICE herself or under another very popular persona. We'll leave that one to you to find but a certain rapping god of death may be right up your alley.
TeddyLoid should be no stranger to anime fans. He's got quite a body of work when it comes to electronic music, and his hit song ME!ME!ME! created such a craze nearly seven years ago. He's made numerous appearances at Anime Expo, and here's one more.
ACME is a visual kei band first formed in 2017. If I had to describe them now, they are a heavy metal band that gives me shades of DIR EN GREY. They've mellowed out a bit compared to years past but I can't say I dislike their current, refined music. They actually recorded the video for the song Enchanted in Los Angeles, and you'll undoubtedly recognize places like Little Tokyo.
FAKE STAR USA is bringing all three together and making a stop in Los Angeles on 6/30/22. They'll be at the 1720 venue which is just over a mile from the Los Angeles Convention Center. Guess what's also happening around that time. Yup, you've got it, Anime Expo. June 30 will be what is traditionally called "Day 0" and with nothing else going on that day besides maybe sleeping early so you can get up and go to the con on July 1, it's my suggestion for you to check out. Much like Asian Kung Fu Generation visited a few years ago during Anime Expo, they've timed things on purpose. If you're not the kind to wake up at the crack of dawn, why not attend the show? Tickets are $35 plus a nominal fee of about $8. You can also get VIP upgrades to meet ACME and TeddyLoid
Composer and DJ James Landino, EDM producer VGR, Japanese singer/songwriter SHIHORI, Japanese producer/DJ MEIRLIN, and DJ Kino will also perform in Los Angeles.
If you happen to miss this show, or are not close enough to take advantage of it, do not fret! ACME and DEMONDICE will be making further performance appearances across the US this summer.
