Cinema Bizarre - 1 Year After

So, yeah. One year. Time just flew away, didn't it?
Tomorrow, 21st January 2011, makes one year since Cinema Bizarre made it official.
It's crazy to think how much their lives and our lives, as fans, have changed, isn't it? I mean, let's take a look on them since 2005 till 2010, when they decided to make a pause.

2005 - The very beginning

Three young boys, completely strange to each other meet on an anime convention, named "Animagic", in Berlin. Their names were Andreas, Carsten and Hannes, now known as "Jack Strify", "Kiro Cullen" and "Yu Phoenix" by the fans and the world. They become best friends and decided to start a band, once Yu and Kiro played guitar and bass and Strify had an amazing voice. Then, they meet Marcel and Lars aka "Shin" and "Luminor". Shin was a shy blond drummer and Luminor a keyboarder and singer with very dark makeup.
A new religion was born: Cinema Bizarre.

2007 - Lovesongs and Eurovision Song Contest

In 2007, they release their first single "Lovesongs (They Kill Me)" and their first album "Final Attraction" and perform "Forever Or Never" at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008.

2008 - First European Tour: Luminor's out, Romeo's in

This year was marked by the fact that Luminor leave the band. Before make it official, they said he was very sick and that he need to take a break. In the end of year Luminor was officially out of the band: some "rumors" say that Luminor went away because of "bad conflicts" with the other guys. Still they found another keyboarder to help them while Luminor was out: Romeo Nightingale, a Yu's friend, who only became an official Cinema Bizarre member in 2009.

2009 - American Adventures, Gaga, ToyZ and Bang!

2009 was a full year for Cinema Bizarre. They went for the first time to America, to do something very special: Open Lady Gaga's concerts of "The Fame Ball Tour".
They released "ToyZ" (their second album) in Europe and "Bang!" (a special edition only for the USA) and they also made a duet with Space Cowboy for their single "I Came 2 Party".

2010 - The break, The Tears

For the sadness of thousands of fans, in 21st January 2010, they decided to make a pause in their career as band to start new projects on their own.
"Dear fans, dear friends, As a band we reached a point in our career where it is time for us to start something new. We decided to discontinue working as CINEMA BIZARRE from now on and take a break beginning in 2010. We want to say thank you for all the faithful and devoted loyalty and we are grateful for getting the chances to work with wonderful and talented people. The results are two albums that made us travel the whole world to see your faces and play our songs. We look back in delight, are happy to be the best German newcomer outside of Germany, we like to think about all the concerts we played - more than 100 shows ... The last year was a huge success for Cinema Bizarre. Some say one should leave off with an appetite. All's well that ends well - we'll meet again. Stay true to yourself. Love, CINEMA BIZARRE"

While, Cinema Bizarre are "taking a break", so many things happened: Romeo and Yu started a new band, called "Rougue Morgue", but a banda the band broke up even before they write some music; after this, Romeo started another band which has already new songs; Strify has been doing DJ Set and Kiro and Shin too.

2011 - The Present

When all our dreams were falling apart, Yu made us believe again that our waiting wasn't useless:

"its been a year now since we made it official that Cinema Bizarre went on a pause. a year full of happenings, experience, challenges. just as every story has two sides, but still im not going to tell mine. same as in the past on different things happening, i believe i wont need to tell you my point of view and you will understand me without words. actions tell reality. like i said before, were on a pause for unknown time and i wasn’t happy about doing that…i miss it! right now im in LA, still working my own project but good things take time so i don’t wanna overdo it and prepare something nice for you plus also i still need to improve my singing, as you might know i just started with that ;) on the other side, i don’t wanna be without doing anything, thats why i teamed up with Brandon Ashley. last year as i made the cancel of Rouge Morgue official i started to get several request from people wanting me to play in their band. Brandon was one of the first and i remembered him being one of our Supports for CB, as i checked out his songs and we met up i felt a good spirit of the whole thing. its kinda strange of knowing im gonna be on stage with a different band cause im so used to be on stage with CB but i hope its gonna be awesome and you guys enjoy it too. one day im gonna be on stage with CB again, but until this day i will give my fire to what im doing and then we will all get back together, improved and refreshed. (...)"

so, guys, never forget: STAY BIZARRE!
