Their chart topping singles such as "Rosier" and "Tonight" has sold millions of albums worldwide and filled concert stadiums throughout Asia. LUNA SEA is highly acclaimed and regarded as one of Japan’s most successful and influential bands in modern music.

SUGIZO is performing with European group JUNO REACTOR on a US tour in support of their album "Gods and Monsters". SUGIZO and JUNO REACTOR will perform live at The Independent on Monday, September 22 at 10:00pm.
