They’ve sold 30-million records and DVDs, filled the 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome a record-breaking 18 times, they

their leader has been referred to as “the Bono of Japan.” But the one thing this Guns N’ Roses-meets-Queen-meets-The-Matrix rock
group has wanted to do for years but has never done, is tour America.

That’s about to change, as on September 25,
X Japan will kick off a
seven-city North American trek at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, with subsequent stops in Oakland, Seattle,
Vancouver, Chicago, Toronto, and New York. Tickets are on sale now and most can be purchased through

The Dears: Residency Shows

PROCEEDS DONATED TO MONTREAL CITY MISSION AND WAR CHILD


The Dears

To introduce audiences to their new collection of songs, acclaimed art rock band The Dears will play a series of
residencies during which they will perform their forthcoming record in full. The eight residency shows – three
consecutive nights in Toronto and Montreal and two in Brooklyn (tour dates below) – will recapture the essence of
the band’s immensely successful string of shows in Mexico City this past May.

The Dears will be donating proceeds from every merch sale at these residencies to Montreal City Mission and War
Child. “Some of the items are rare, might be the wrong size, while some things are out of print and may be sold at
ridiculous prices. But this is not just about raising money. People hurt everywhere, all the time, and in so many
ways. Essentially, this is what we sing about and sometimes singing just ain’t enough. By taking some of this stuff
off our hands, hopefully folks will remember who they’re helping and why,” says the band of the endeavor.

The new record, slated for an early 2011 release, and touring lineup also marks the return of guitarists Patrick Krief
and Rob Benvie, early-era bassist Roberto Arquilla as well as newcomer Jeff Luciani on drums. In addition, of course,
to singer Murray Lightburn and keyboardist Natalia Yanchak. The band mentions that “we’ve seen many line-up
changes, but this one is quite special. Some of our relationships, and friendships, go back over 10 years. The result
has been powerful and chilling, like some cosmic design intent on blowing you away.”
