Soon after forming, the band launched their self-organized live event series “IMMIGRANT HAUS” in 2006, which became a recurring platform for alternative and experimental acts in Tokyo’s underground circuit. In 2007, lloy released the single Die weiße rose and appeared at the event “TOKYO DARK CASTLE,” a well-known gathering within Japan’s gothic scene. The following year saw the release of Cut Off Blind. The band temporarily suspended activities in 2009. During this period, vocalist yuko-kat competed in the All Kyokushin World Karate Tournament held in Budapest, Hungary, reaching the women’s lightweight division best 8. lloy resumed activities in November 2010 without bassist Atsushi Hatta and returned to the stage through events such as “GEOMETRICAL LOLITA HAUS.” In 2012, the band released the split work Wreckage Venue / Zangai no chi and embarked on the European tour “-HUMAN PLANTS ARE ECCENTRIC DISCHARGE-” alongside SPEECIES and ZIZ. The tour ran from November to December 2012 and included performances across several European countries. Later that year, lloy released the EP Revenantz ep and a cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit. In early 2013, Atsushi Hatta rejoined the band, while support drummer SHIGEO KATO became an official member. In July 2013, lloy released PILGRIMAGE NUMINOUS and SONGS / NUMINOUS, continuing to refine their atmospheric and melancholic style.

I thought about return to the forest because my work in Tokyo was finished. But I met a woman with fair hair while I was walking in the town. There, every day in the night. She was singing a swing jazz, a little painfully, with a sad voice. The charm has withered the voice. Then, I wanted get this voice. ...... Music walked toward here. ...... The tune arose at the first time. A lot of tunes arose from her voice. It was a magic feelings. ...... However It make travel each other to act about the remainder during half a year. ...... It got acquainted with a man who looked neutral when walking in ..air Brari somewhere.. The style of music suited him and me perfectly. We drank, we exchanged and listened music, and we spend a lot of time talking about a lot of things He, with fair hair, and him, with fait hair became familiar faces. ...... One time, we decided to form the band as I was drinking sake with her, with fair hair, and him, with fair hair too. I partly gave it up though I wanted do music again with her voice. It met him with fair hair and her (She did have dark hair now) again, and the same three people has half a year ago was there again in a winter day. A foolish story was told over a bottle. She consented immediately when he proposed her to make a band at 2 AM. ...... Magic began to hang. Magic began to hang my life again. ...... One. another I was drinking sake with him, with fair hair in Shibuya in summer two years ago. It was a very sultry night. Then, one man was introduced. It was a man who had a delicate look though it had a wild appearance. It got along with him wild. It went out to the park, we shared a lot of ideas. ...... And, then he came with us last summer. ...... The band name was named lloy. ...... Thank you. Good-bye. I wish you sweet dreams! Our music. After one second with a beautiful mind. It is possible to burn it with light. Matsubara." http://www.lloy.jp http://www.myspace.com/lloyjp http://www.facebook.com/pages/lloy/145121672243190
