✄ ABOUT THE BAND
シド (SID) was founded in 2003 by the vocalist Mao (ex-SHULA) and the bassist Aki (ex-RAM∞REM). They were quickly joined by two support members, guitarist Shinji (ex-Uranus) and drummer Yuuya (ex-SHULA). The four of them released the band's first offering, 「Yoshigai gaku 17 sai (mushyoku)」 (吉開学 17歳 (無職)), on mini-disc that August and soon after, they signed with Danger Crue Records.
Though SID technically began in 2003, the band considers January 14th of 2004 the date of their 'birth' as it was announced at their show at the Meguro Rock May Kan that Shinji and Yuuya would be joining as official members. With their line-up now complete, they released their first single 「Kaijou-Ban」(会場限定盤) in March before traveling overseas for a two-day performance at the American convention Anime Central in May. The young band made quite an impact, gaining a number of international fans, and they have since expressed their desire to return to America once more.
SID heated back up in the winter months, releasing their first full album, 「Renai」(レンアイ), and taking part in both their label-sponsored 'tenka' event put on every Christmas and the Beauti-Fool's Fest 04 event sponsored by FOOL'S MATE magazine. They continued to participate in lives and events well into the next year, which included their first one-man tour. The release of their second album followed. The band started off small, but not without a certain charming flair. Where most bandsmen handed out fliers, they also used megaphones as a means of personal promotion. Despite having only a small collection of songs to offer, they worked relentlessly to produce more. Their releases varied widely in style and composition, and the band made it an obvious goal to appeal to a broad audience - a plan which obviously worked. Sid grew rapidly in their initial years, at a rate which surprised numerous publications and notoriously earned them the title "the monster band of the indie scene".

What's a Fanlisting?
A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) - they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject.
