Moon Stream

MSTParisPromo.jpgMoon Stream is a new musical unit combining the forces of Japanese visual style rock with the sounds of the New York underground. Created in early 2011, Moon Stream is fronted by Satsuki (vocals, ex RENTRER EN SOI) and Tomo (guitar, echostream). These two veterans of the early visual kei explosion in Japan are now active on opposite ends of the globe.

The first half of the band's name "Moon" is derived from Satsuki's own name, while the latter half, taken from Tomo's band name "echostream," fuses to create a fresh concept for a band unlike any other - channeling the energy of the moon as a powerful musical force.

Displaying their visual and musical talent from signature rock sounds, ambient compositions, to dance rock music, their US debut launched Moon Stream into the sky. Don't miss Moon Stream's first performance in the Midwest at Izumicon 2013!
