LAB. THE BASEMENT
LAB. THE BASEMENT (previously lab.) is Japanese band formed in 2003 by Sakurai Ao (ex-cali≠gari), who changed name to KUON. His cali≠gari bandmate Makoto joined him as Kjun. Kirihito (ex-Doroto) and Kanan also joined the band and with this line-up they released only one single - Dub Note. In early 2004 Kanan left the band, but in short time he was replaced by new bassist – TILL (ex-P∽L). They released three singles on March and two on July. Instead on August band released two full-length albums – PIED and PIPER, which concluded songs from previous singles together with new tracks. Soon afterwards KJUN left the band and joined to Cyanotype. He was replaced by HAL from band SPEED-iD. In 2005 band released only a mini-album END OF THE WORLD and first DVD - Yoshigen Yuukoujouyaku.
In February 2006 they changed name from lab. to LAB.THE BASEMENT. Probably then HAL left the band and other members changed their names (KUON returned to Sakurai Ao). In the same month band released first single under new name – TOWN OF SIREN and five days later single Ningen bokujou. In the end of the year they released DVD single – Kurui semi ga saken da asa. The second DVD single was released in 2007.
In June 2008 they released album Archives 2003-2008, which contained the best songs from their activity.
