Lady Gaga's German Discovery: Cinema Bizarre

Welcome to younghollywood. com.

So hey, I'm Romeo and I play keyboard in the band.

I'm Shin, I play drums.

My name is Travi and I'm the lead singer.

I'm Kira, I play the bass.

Hi, I'm Yu and I rock the guitar.

Hey, Young Hollywood. It's Michelle Marie. We are here on the tour bus with Cinema Bizarre all the way from Berlin, Germany. Is your first time here in the US?

So Cinema Bizarre, I want to know the meaning behind that title.

We have a pretty extraordinary look and so we wanted to tell people that it's good to be different, it's good to find your own thing because usually when people call you bizarre, they mean it in a negative way and we want to give it a positive flavor. And we are all big movie fans and we thought it was quite fitting because we really want to give the people a show and something theatrical.

So you guys are going to be kicking off the tour with Lady Gaga tonight, The Fame Ball.

It's really kind of a big deal for us coming from Berlin meeting Lady Gaga and getting invited by herself to open for her. I mean she's the hottest thing around right now so.

We just talked to her over on her tour bus and she loves you guys so, so much.

I went out to meet Cinema Bizarre who'd come to see the show and they just They're stars. They're stars. And I have a real genuine belief in them as a group. So I wanted to give them an opportunity to get their feet wet in America. So I talked to my record label and asked if they would send them over. And here they are.

She's so cute. Really and and I love her outfits. I'm kind of jealous because I love the House of Gaga, which is which she's working with on. Oh, it's so great. She's going to be such a big fashion icon, I think.

You guys have a huge hit right now. It's called Love Songs.

Love songs they kill me is the first single and we're coming out with an EP, which is sold at Hot Topic.

So how do you describe your sound? A lot of people are saying that it's pop, rock, electro.

It's all of that. A big influence of the 80s and electronic music, but also a big influence from modern rock music with very poppy melodies with a killer hook.

You are all inspired by the Japanese fashion and the pop culture out there. What is it that you love about it?

When I met and found out about the visual K thing, about the whole Japanese it's a Japanese youth culture, and it's also pretty 80s inspired. I was always a big fan of David Bowie and Adam Ant, for example. And it just got me one step further in my development of the style because it's pretty, pretty extraordinary. We really love the music from Japan, the style, and it's so individual and that was the reason we met because of our passion for music and the style.

So here you guys all have a lot of teenage fans. What is your fan experience like?

As we just traveled in Russia, we had traveled a long time by train. Every time when we travel and come into the station, the fans exactly know where we are and at which door we're coming out. This was really wow.

Hey, we're Cinema Bizarre. Thanks for watching Young Hollywood. I hope we'll see you on one of our concerts.
