Cinema Bizarre
Cinema Bizarre is a band from Berlin. They released their debut album in 2007. Their manager is Lacrimosa singer and songwriter Tilo Wolff.
Their first single CD "Lovesongs (They Kill Me)" was released on September 14, 2007, two weeks after their first live performance in the German music show The Dome. The Norddeutscher Rundfunk (north German television broadcast) nominated the band for the national final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, but Cinema Bizarre did not manage to impress the audience. No Angels and Carolin Fortenbacher, made it into the second election round of the final.
They released their first studio album, Final Attraction, in 2007. This is the only album to feature keyboardist and backing vocalist Luminor. Three singles were released from the album: Lovesongs (They Kill Me), Escape To The Stars, and Forever Or Never.
On March 28, 2008, they began their first tour throughout Europe. In September, 2008, Luminor took a break from going on tour with the band. It was announced that his health was poor and he needed time off in order to get better. While he was on break, Yu's close friend traveled and played with the band.
On November 1, 2008, a trailer was released which stated the name of Cinema Bizarre's upcoming album to be ToyZ.
Initially, the first single from their new album was to be "My Obsession", a song Strify described to be a 'powerful ballad'. However, the single was leaked, and thus was pulled off the Internet. The album release date was also pushed back from May to August 21. "My Obsession", although it already had cover art, was not released. The band released a message on their official YouTube account expressing their disappointment, and that they would change the single. On their official website, they announced that their American album was going to be titled "Bang!". The first single from the albums "ToyZ" and "BANG! (Cinema Bizarre album)" was "I Came 2 Party", a duet with Space Cowboy (musician).
"My Obession" was chosen to be the second single from "ToyZ" and "BANG! (Cinema Bizarre album)" and was accompanied by two different versions of the music video.
On January 21, 2010, the band announced via MySpace that they were taking a break, as they felt that it was "time to start something new."
