Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz isn't the only German rocker who likes to wear more lipstick and eye shadow than most girls. (I just watched an episode of Deutsche Welle's popXport, which explains the back-to-back posts about Teutonic artists.)In fact, Kaulitz and his pufferfish hairstyle are facing some rather stiff competition from Cinema Bizarre (pictured), a group of flamboyantly girlish men from Berlin. They met at an anime convention -- or at least three of them did -- and released their first album in North America, BANG!, earlier this year. Their lead singer, Strify, actually has decent vocals ... if you can actually force yourself to sit through one of their songs. Here are links for two -- My Obsession, a piano ballad perfect for the Twilight films, and I Came 2 Party, one of the cheesiest Euro-dance tracks of the year.
Of course, their looks are nothing new. 'Member Canada's very own Platinum Blonde? Or all those girly metal bands in the '80s? I guess it was only a matter of time before this style started to make a comeback ... and I'm talking more than just the eyeliner previously worn by emo musicians.
