Scandal was formed by 4 high school classmates in Osaka, Japan in 2006. They first performed in public as street performers in Osaka's Castle Park. Over time their performances began to draw a regular, enthusiastic crowd and they began to catch the attention of people in the music business. Scandal were invited to perform at various venues around Osaka and Kyoto and they eventually were invited to perform at events in Tokyo as well.

Scandal released their first indie single on March 3, 2008. Subsequent singles were released monthly on April 4 and May 5. In April, Scandal performed at Japan Night at the "South by Southwest Music Fest" in Austin, Texas, USA and toured the country with other Japanese Bands, performing in New York City, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and Seattle. They returned to Seattle shortly afterwards to perform at the anime convention "Sakuracon".

Scandal has since returned to Japan and has been busy performing at various events while writing and recording new songs. There has been no announcement as of yet about future releases. Scandal is scheduled to perform at the "Japan Expo 2008" in Paris, France.[edit]Last edit by dark soul on Tuesday 06 Oct, 2009 at 21:55 +3.4%[/edit][edit]Last edit by azalago on Tuesday 11 Nov, 2008 at 22:41 -63%[/edit]
