Vow Wow Concert History

Japanese melodic hard rock band led by Kyoji Yamamoto (山本恭司), formed in 1984 from the ashes of Bow Wow. Bow Wow's (1976-84) style is hard/speed rock, but later (1984) when they changed name to VW, they also changed line-up and style to more melodic and commercial (and less 'agressive'). We should treat VW and BW as two different (but connected) bands. Now they back to Bow Wow name, returned to old lineup and old style.
