(No, that's not Jesus Christ.) The doors open from 18:00, with the first act going on about 19:00.

Oran EP II has been recorded, mixed and mastered. Unlike the previous studio recordings, we're planning on making this a full-fledged release. Batch pressing, fancy artwork, liner notes . . . the whole nine yards. Well, maybe not lyrics. Whatever the final result, you can expect to see the update here. Hopefully we'll have something arranged in the coming months. We're all happy with the results,

SiX-DOG proved to be one of our most satisfying shows so far. Kudos in particular to the sound engineer who really mixed everything down to a fine display. Our performance wasn't too shabby either, if I dare say so myself. I guess regular practices can make a difference after all! The turn-out could have been better, but many thanks to those that did come out, and it was nice seeing everybody.The

ORAN played its first ever acoustic live at Michisakari Sake Factory in Tajimi, Gifu pref. The venue was over 200 years old and the sake was delicious. In fact, we were paid in sake. Best show ever.
