Vampanera - Alexia (Live) (1997)

“Vampanera“, 1997. Vampanera formed in 1996. The group released a few demos throughout that year and 1997, and later released their first VHS, which was self-titled, in August of 1997. Vampanera went on to tour throughout the remainder of 1997, and released a few more demos throughout 1998, but failed to catch on among the vast visual underground scene, and eventually wound up disbanding by 1999. Frontwoman Kizaki (刻姫) and bassist Kappa both went on to form the indies group Aste*Risk, which also split in 2001. After Aste*Risk split, both Kizaki and Kappa then retired from the visual scene. The guitarist of Vampanera, Nave, went on to temporarily become a support musician to the indies group Junkie Honey, but soon left, and retired from the underground music scene in general and became a cosmetologist. In 2013, however, she made her return to the underground music scene as a support musician and occasional solo artist under the name of Takamidori-san (高見鳥さん), which she is semi-active as today.
