Japanese rock band URBANGARDE will stream the premiere of their 2015 USA debut concert at 8:00pm JST on May 30 via their YouTube channel.
The concert, originally held at A-Kon in Dallas, Texas, on June 3, 2015, includes performances of the band’s erotic and disturbing subculture anthems “Tokai no Alice”, “Coin Locker Babies”, and “Sailor Fuku wo Nuganai de”, centering around an illicit student-teacher affair which results in a teenage mother fighting a Kewpie doll to the death with a samurai sword.
The concert will stream live one time only, with no plans yet announced for repeat showings.
