Key Party Records

Key Party Records was a Japanese independent record label established in 1997[1] by Henry Lee Euro, known as the vocalist for the band Speed-ID. The company had both a recording studio and a design studio focusing on visual kei bands of a similar style of music and dress. The Key Party label went on to sign bands like Aliene Ma'riage, Noir Fleurir and Missalina Rei.[2] Key Party was eventually incorporated into Enamell Records, which has since become defunct.

May 3–5, 2005, there was a three-day Key Party 2005 revival, consisting of a Q&A and two concerts in the style of the labels Hold Your Key concerts. The first concert featured a line-up of original Key Party bands; the second concert featured the current bands of members of former Key Party bands.[2][3]
