Profile

Formed in 1980 by vocalist Genet. rock band AUTO-MOD have had a prolific career. Genet, who was previously in bands such as MARIA023, GENETIC VOODOO, GENET and THE HIPS and Worst Noise, also founded the popular gothic event "Tokyo Dark Castle" with the other members of AUTO-MOD and the band still perform at every TDC event. In addition to Tokyo Dark Castle, the band have also played at various live houses including Shinjuku Loft, Shibuya DaSeO, Club Citta Kawasaki and Shijuku ACB.

Although AUTO-MOD disbanded in 1985, Genet re-formed the band with new members in 1995 under the name "AUTO-MOD1999". This version of the band soon disbanded however, and the present AUTO-MOD was born in 1996. The band had many line-up changes over the years, but currently consists of Genet, Yukino, Masa, Naoki and Selia and with this line-up they released their newest album, "Eastern Gothic", in Ocotober 2007.

Thoughts

I didn’t used to like AUTO-MOD at all, but since Selia joined their music has improved quite a lot and his operatic vocals sound really good with Genet’s half singing half growling vocals. The band has also started using some more electronic elements in their music, which I also like. They’re very interesting to watch live, even though I don’t like -all- their music, and Genet is a good showman. Also, Selia’s voice is really powerful and beautiful and actually the recordings don’t do it justice. AUTO-MOD won’t be for everyone, but they’re certainly worth at least trying out.
