Visual kei and Japanese rock have swept America, and there is hardly a better example of its influence than [geist]: an American group devoted to the sound, look, and feel of visual kei Japanese rock.
In 2007, [geist] acquired vocalist Kane and appeared at Baltimore's Otakon, the largest Japanese culture convention on the East Coast. The subsequent release of their debut single, "nevaeHell," triggered nearly 1,300 plays in just over a two-week period. The following year, [geist]'s lineup gelled completely when Kazuya's longtime friend, Sai, joined on drums. [geist] performed alongside jpop darlings Mitsumassyu, played again at Otakon, and released their blistering yet lyrical second single, "The Brilliant Black." September saw the release of their first EP, Itsuwari. And in October, they opened for the acclaimed Zazen Boys in Baltimore.
Currently, [geist] is preparing to release their full-length debut, GROTESQUE. Get ready for a torrent of passionate, chaotic, beautiful music—and the newest phase of Japan-influenced rock. Ever determined to do their best, [geist] aims to thrill fans everywhere in every way.
If you would like to book [geist] for any venues, parties, or events please contact them via a myspace message or geistband@gmail.com.

Also returning to help us pull off this event is Funimation, who were our sponsors last year, and provided boxsets to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. The contest is fairly simple.
