Dir en grey

Band, *1997 JP
Rock

DIR EN GREY (formerly stylized as "Dir en grey") is a Japanese band consisting of vocalist 京 (Kyo), guitarist and band leader 薫 (Kaoru), guitarist Die, bassist Toshiya and drummer Shinya. The band was formed on February 2, 1997, after performing one show as DEATHMASK on January 24, covering songs by 黒夢. All of them, except for Toshiya, already played in one ore more bands together, most notably La:Sadie's, the direct predecessor of DIR EN GREY. La:Sadie's disbanded on January 15, 1997. The band name is a combination of German "dir", French "en" and English "grey" and was thought to mean "Grey Silver Coin" (灰色の銀貨 "Haiiro no Ginka" in Japanese). It was probably inspired by a track title from Lareine's 2nd Demo. Except for Kaoru and Shinya, the band members use stage names, the full names of all band members are unknown.
