The candy spooky theater

Whoooooo, thank you Pjusk! 🕺 😎
I love them too. They are really fun. :giggle:
 
I don't think anyone understands how many times I've listened to "Merry go round" since I downloaded it from this page. I literally play it once/hour at LEAST, haha, I'm listening to it right now actually. This is the weirdest/funnest song ever made. I haven't even took the time to listen to the other CST songs b/c I keep repeating this one, I love it! Anyways, thanks for the music and the intro to the band *off to actually listen to their other songs ... maybe*

Well, I didn't have high expectations for this band based on both the name and appearance, but since so many people seemed to like their music I decided to give it a shot. In essence they are a novelty band (then again Visual Kei in itself could be described that way also). Their sound isn't very unique and the structure of their songs are very simple. It just sounds like they are ripping off numerous other artists. I know many of you may disagree, but perhaps you aren't informed in this area/genre.

For the skeptics I will provide an example...In the early 80's a British musician, Frank Tovey, created music under the name Fad Gadget. Many of his songs had a sort of "circus" sound to them. He even dressed as a clown sometimes. I am always shocked by the amount of people who have never even heard of him before, because he was such an influential artist. Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, and Nine Inch Nails (to name a few) were influenced by him. I have often wondered if many Jrock acts were inspired by his on-stage antics. Especially Kyo (he often painted/covered himself in various substances). I'll attach some photos, so you can see the similarities for yourself.






And a bit of fanservice as well haha...



 
I agree 100% norm, they're def a novelty band. I really don't like the other songs I listened to. Merry go round has samples from a billion songs I've heard before, just typical skewed "scary clown" music. For some reason "merry go round" is so much fun though. I think it has something to do with the fact that my poli sci class was RIDICULOUSLY boring, so I decided to bust out my ipod and start listening to music before I fell asleep. The song that came on first was "merry go round" and it made me laugh out loud, which got me many looks and an "ahem" noise from the teacher, haha. Anyways, since then the song has been stuck in my head and I keep playing it and singing it all day long. Oh, and everytime it plays I have to get up and do my clown dance. I'll have to show you the clown dance one day, it's something my cousins and I made up when we were younger, haha!
 
I know the whole clown and weird spooky thing has been done before, but I still like 'em.

🕺

Meh, normally I'd say that looks don't matter, but for a band like The Candy Spooky Theater, the look of the band goes hand in hand with the music. I mean, they're going for a whole clown/circus feel, and it's hard to pull that off without having the right look as well.

I listened to a lot of their songs again and some stuff of theirs I got from livejournal, and I changed my mind about them. They actually have some pretty good stuff! They still seem like a new band that's trying to find their true style, but I really like the songs "strip", "spook house", and "ferris wheel". I'd love to hear more from them in the future 👍
 
Hmmm, okay now I'm interested.

I've been on a kick to find new bands recently and this sounds like a prime target. COuld anyone recomend some songs I should listen to first?
 
Sunsweet:: are they a new band???
hide my heart:: you can dl all the mp3 in the pervious page.. all of them are good!! 👍
 
I THINK they're a new band, they sound like one at least. I know they don't have a drummer yet, they're currently looking for one, so I assume that they're still working on a "complete" sound, but I don't know for sure. It says on the first page they officially started in 2003, but since then they've only had 3 maxi-singles, so I still consider that relatively new.
 
Hmmm, its always hard to define a band as "new" or "old". There's so many variations on the theam so to speak when talking about JRock. But if they've been around since 2003......

Hmm, where's the person who started this thread? I need answers dagnabbit!
 
that would be me who started this thread..
i saw them on some website and found out there isnt their topic here..
so i open one.. there is some information in the pervious page. and, i m too, lost.. need answers.. but they probaly just a new band (ithink) not many ppl know them.. and they have just few singles.. so let's just take them as a new band until some body have the answer., :-)
 
Hmmm, okay sounds good! lol

Me too, I started a Baiser thread hopping someone would have something. Argh! It seems some bands you just have to go to Japan and hunt down your self inorder to get any information on.

Okay, so it's been decided : they're new. :-)
 
yea, i definately think that they are new, cause even though they formed in 2003, they really didn't start making music until 2005, right???
just out of curiousity, does anybody have the song parade or nightmare that they could upload, they are the only ones i have not heard....and pjusk, could you reupload parade, cause it expired before i got a chance to load it 😌
 
haha, I really love this band. I think I may have to do a Peggy cosplay at Megacon on saturday *imagines walking up to d'espairs ray for photo decked out in Peggy makeup and costume* ehehehe....
