LOVEBITES; In my humble opinion it seems that it was a very uncomfortable, very small place where our beautiful Lovebites could not demonstrate all their power. They deserved a more comfortable place for themselves and the guests. Yes, they are not a band from any bar, they are meant to play on stages a lot. but according to them if not more because they are all professionals and educated and above all they respect their Fans bravo for LOVEBITES🎤🎸🎸🥁🎸🤘👍

I totally agree with you guys view. The only matter they need is deserved “more public exposure”. Tons of music lovers on the Earth will be stunned and get delighted. I am basically a classic music listener, but am totally in their universe! For the exposure and the appropriate sound space, this venue was questionable. And the songs like Edge of the world or Frozen Serenade will be difficult to perform and appreciated. But as a supporter, I hope all the rest of the gigs go great like this! Go girls!
The audience on the night were wonderful, respectful and supportive and the ladies seem to appreciate them . I felt proud to be a small part of it.

Absolutely ! A lot of people seem to have forgotten that the band has not toured overseas for nearly 4 years because of the pandemic, Miho left and they went into hiatus and they have a new & young bassist, and 2 of the members got pregnant and have kids now. They lost their momentum from 2020 and have to pretty much start from scratch again. So from the business perspective, they're testing the overseas market to gauge the response, etc... Nothing wrong with what the band is doing currently. In fact, they look absolutely professional and it's obvious they truly enjoyed the shows so far, as much as the fans.

As I reaptedly say: Like Iron Maiden in the 1980s. Poland tour, playing at a wedding reception. Then they became living _legends_ . _Never ever_ under-estimate any place to show what you are capable of.
I'm loving all the different footage from this gig!! Absolutely agree on the stage size. Also, I don't see any monitors anywhere so I wonder if that had something to do with it too. Miyako usually just stands there like Venus de Milo with arms, but Asami and Midori were like a caged tiger and songbird considering how they usually stalk and flit around the stage. If Fami started bouncing around she might have gone through the roof or the floor. Equal chance from the look of it. 😂 Poor Lady Haruna looked as if her throne was going to fall off the back of the stage. That being said, everyone looks like they enjoyed themselves and I"m jealous as hell. 🤘😎🤘🇺🇸
It is a pity to watch them in such a narrow spot .Lobebites should play at Royal Albert Hall .They are probably one of the best metal bands at the present time .
@Flo-vn9ty3 ай бұрын
I agree. I get why they didn't book the really big venues as they are still not that well known in Europe. I think even in Japan, they play at middle sized venues. But they definitely should have booked bigger venues than the ones they are playing at. Here in Germany the venue is a little bit bigger (650 people) but it's in a very touristy but more rural area deep in the south which probably is the reason why this concert is not sold out. The nearest big cities are at least a 1.5 - 2 hour drive away. I'm pretty sure it would be sold out if they played at a more central and urban location. I'm actually wondering if they even make much money of these tiny concerts after flying over their equipment from Japan and paying all the other expenses that come with a concert. Especially as the tickets are quite cheap.
@zainalabidinramli7623 ай бұрын
a rough cut take such as this is like an acid test for these musicians. Certain sounds dominate,while some are muffled, but since the drums are in clarity, it confirms my assertion that to tune a metronome , run it against Haruna's beat: unwavering.🤣🤣As for the overall band, hahaha, Lovebites being what they are, take them to north pole or south pole, their immaculate execution of their compositions in any venue is near perfect replication. Jedi masters of music theory and time signature dynamics. As for the closed and small venue, the humility of Lovebites will take them where they wanna be. Great musicians have a down to earth, humble demeanor. True to reality, they know that the music business is tough as hell.

Those who were able to go to the venue were lucky to be able to watch their live performance so close that they could reach them if they extended their hands, which is precisely because the venue was so small. The girls were also playing hard.

I'm seeing them 3 times in the US. All of their announced dates sans the festival, and I'm from the East Coast. If they announce for NYC or Boston I might go there as well. It'll be the same tour, and the same set list, but I feel so lucky to even have a chance to see them and support them. I'm surprised the venues are so small. They should have sold out in minutes, and they should be booking venues 5x as big or bigger. If they had taken that risk and left them open I think they would have sold out by the time the night of the show came, but fans are lucky to see them in that small a venue. I think Band Maid had really small venues when they first came here too (this small?). I hope the girls are not disheartened by that and have great luck with this tour and a much larger one in the future. They're far too talented for venues of this size.

As much as we the fans of #lovebites love these ladies, they in turn love the fans, I agree that this stage looks too small, but now they have started the tour this kind of close and intimate thing will be rare. I'm going down to London in July to experience them, a bigger venue of 600 but still small, but it's a once in a lifetime chance to see them for me so I'll be grateful. Thanks for putting this video up. Much respect 🤘🎤🎸🥁🎹🐺

Lovebites serve for the best interest of Metal excellence in _any_ place, obviously. They would probably even perform in a _stable_ , if that served their audience. _That_ is what I call down-to-earth and modest. They don't need large-type stadiums to encounter us, only audiences in need of Metal excellence. My respect towards these shining *ladies* is even deeper now, than it already was before the beginning of this tour. Hats off!

Remember this is the first date on a tour that includes a couple of festivals in Spain and a spot on the main stage at Hellfest in France, so they will get exposure to a wider audience. But, given that this gig sold out the day tickets went on sale, and that they saw fit to book a second London date at a bigger venue, shows that someone screwed up when choosing New Cross Inn as a venue. I'm just happy that I get to see them twice, and up close.

For everyone saying the place was too small, they are playing a 600 capacity venue, The Garage, in a couple of weeks and the tickets are not selling. Just a suggestion, if you really want to support the band then buy a ticket, even if maybe you can't go to the show, after all everyone keeps saying how cheap the tickets are.

I guess when a band adds an additional show to their tour schedule at the last minute, such as The Garage---due to demand---this precludes the public from buying tickets. I've heard of this phenomenon but have never witnessed it until now. Interesting.

Heavy metal is masculine music, which is why our beloved band sees themselves as warriors/wild wolves against that paradigm. Study the audiences from their Tokyo shows---not very many women, if any. The ladies are used to it. They embrace it. They play the music they like, and they probably long ago stopped wondering about audience demographics. "We're not here to be cute..." Yep.
@HowardGraves-e4k3 ай бұрын
Plus, it might be a nice change of pace for them to sort of get back to their roots---like the 2016-17 period during which a lot of their shows were probably in places like these first two. It's also useful to work out the bugs in stage setups and in the overall musicality of their playing live----which is a tad different than being in the studio working on demos.
