TINC

When the band Shelly Trip Realize announced that they would be making an important announcement at their concert on December 10, 2006, their fans were immediately worried; would it mean the end of the band?

On December 10th, the answer, both "yes" and "no", came. While Shelly Trip Realize announced a stop in their activities, they were not disbanding, but starting fresh under the name of TINC.

Their first performance under the new name was in January of the following year and was followed by countless other performances. Their first release was a mini-album called Voyage, which came out in March. Shortly after the release of the mini-album, the band had their first one-man shows, which were appropriately titled Brand new days.

The band toured extensively and released their first single, COLD in December of 2007.

While the band was popular due largely in part to their fans who followed them from their days as Shelly Trip Realize, they were short lived and announced their disbandment in early 2008. Their last live, A-LIVE~Representation~, which took place on April 20th, was released on DVD in July 2008.
