4.3-4.2019 BIRTHDAY BASH CONCERT & AFTER TALK info dump

Hi, everyone! There is a lot of content that fans posted regarding the BIRTHDAY BASH concert and AFTER TALK. Since there's so much stuff, I'll write a brief summary and provide links.

Overall, it seemed like an epic concert and event. Everyone happily celebrated NARASAKI's birthday with a bang. 700 physical copies of SUBLIMATION were gifted to the concert attendees. HOT TOASTERS opened for COTD- they collaborated in SUBLIMATION and are under U-desper Records. Kemur Man (the alien from THE VISITORS FROM DEEPSPACE album art) made an appearance and waved a COTD flag. The first half of the concert was performed with Kenjiro Murai (bass) and Akira from Plastic Tree (guitar) while the second half was performed by the VISITORS TEAM (Negishi (guitar) & Nagasawa (bass)).

During an MC:
- When COTD performed in the US (Hollywood & New York) in 1993, their name was incorrectly presented as, "COALTER OF THE DEEPSPACE".

NARASAKI performed COAL CUT on the ukulele (https://twitter.com/Wipe_Out_Retake/status/1113803283859009537). (I think) Signed drum pads were given away to fans who did not attend the concert. I also think there were rare video clips of the band. A lot was discussed during the AFTER TALK.

- COTD opened for Swervedriver (in Japan) in 1991. They went to London to try to be under the Creation Label but couldn't meet up with Alan McGee. (https://twitter.com/kittymaniameg/status/1113981419875782656)

- COTD performed in Los Angeles, CA in 1993 in part of the CMJ Music Marathon.

Kanno is quite the artist. I think only 2 were given out.

Today, we received a NEW MUSIC VIDEO surprise: SUMMER GAZER '92

There is a new online store with new COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS goods!

Now some words from NARASAKI:

DEEPERS７年ぶりの新作発売日です。とはいえ今回収録されているSUMMERGAZER含め４曲とも７年以上前に作曲したものです。ブランクがありすぎたので新しいものを作る前に一旦ニュートラルの状態に戻しておきたかったんですよね。７年前の自分を肯定するところから始めようかといった気持ちですかね。
http://twitter.com/NACKIEeeee/status/1062587029408477186

この７年間　仕事はいつでも楽しく音楽制作してこれてきましたが久しぶりにDEEPERSやるとそれはまぁ時間がかかりましたね。なんせ誰からもストップかかりませんから。４曲で半年以上かかりましたので、この構築からの破壊実験を繰り返して模索して作るみたいな手法ではアルバムは夢のまた夢ですな。
http://twitter.com/NACKIEeeee/status/1062587030419398656

それでも新しい構想もありますし、それらは具現化したいと思っております。
そろそろライブもね。それではRABBIT　EP　お耳に合えば嬉しいです。
http://twitter.com/NACKIEeeee/status/1062587031358910464

Roughly translated with Google Translate & Bing Translator:

DEEPERS' new release is 7 years old. However, four songs including SUMMER GAZER, which were recorded this time, were composed more than 7 years ago. Since there were too many blanks, I wanted to return to a neutral state before making a new one. I feel like I'm starting to affirm myself 7 years ago.

For 7 years of work, I have been making music for fun, but it took DEEPERS a long time.
No one stops for anyone.
Because it took more than half a year in 4 songs, the album is a dream of a dream with a method of repeating destructive experiments from construction and exploring it.

Still there are new ideas and I would like to embody them.
It's time to live.
I'm happy if you listen to RABBIT EP.

+ + + +

Thank you so much for these new releases!
I hope this means there will be more COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS in the future. :)
