VAMPS is the name of the band formed by HYDE (L’Arc~en~Ciel) and K.A.Z (Oblivion Dust). HYDE and K.A.Z have been working together on HYDE’s solo work since 2003. After years of collaboration, the two finally decided to form their own band and agreed that there was no better way to announce VAMPS than getting out in front of the fans right away. Their first Nationwide tour of Japan, "VAMPS LIVE 2008", kicked off at Zepp Tokyo. Between August 1, 2008 and October 28, 2008, VAMPS played 46 shows at the prestigious Zepp live houses throughout Japan. The tour was totally organized by VAMPS and the venues were custom decorated by spray art such as the now-famous VAMPS castle. The band played 6 to 10 shows at each Zepp venue and every single show was sold out. The continuous string of sold out shows were unprecedented and had never taken place during any other Zepp live house tour before. Their second single I Gotta Kick Start Now was released on March 13, 2009. A new single Evanescent was also featured as a PV. The band has had quickly growing success most likely dur to Hyde's ever growing fame all over the world. So far three singles havebeen released including LOVE ADDITCT, I Gotta Kick Start Now, and EVANESCENT. They have also released a self titled full length album, VAMPS. A compilation of many of their singles including some new songs.

Great band honestly. Evanescent is actually said to sound very L'Ac esque according to many so in other words any L'Arc fan should like Vamps.
