Concerts in Tokyo, August 3rd - 7th

[Kinsao]

I'm lucky enough to be in Tokyo during the first week of August, and I wondered are there any interesting/cool/exciting gigs happening anytime from August 3rd to 7th?

I'll be staying in Shibuya, so it would be great to know of anything in that area (I know it's a good place for music and lots of venues there, and I have a venue map for the area ^^").

I like rock mostly, and some of metal, industrial and goth; I also like some indie music and blues and some more pop stuff, so just feel free to bombard me with suggestions lol :p

I know I can look things up, and plan to do so, but I can't read Japanese, and not all places have info in English, sadly.

(points to consider)
1. Seeing from the last year's Scuber Dive case, you should buy the ticket in advance.
2. Some places, such as Takadanobaba AREA (another must-go place for V-kei fans, have yet to announce their schedule in August
