Cinema Bizarre Talks Twilight, Jonas, and Tokio Hotel | Pop Music at PopAwesome

What s our new favorite thing straight out of Germany?!?! Well, it s not Tokio Hotel (shuush we still love them!) What we re really talking about is Cinema Bizarre one part fashion, one part androgyny and a whole lotta electro-pop goodness. Influenced by Japanese subculture, Grace Jones and the incomparable David Bowie, lead singer Strify is all things a frontman should be. When we had the chance to catch up with Strify we knew we had to surprise him with some hard hitting journalistic questions like who would you date and who would you dump. You ll have to read on to see where Miley Cyrus and Robert Pattinson landed on that list

Being a new band from Germany and given both your look and your sound there are obvious similarities to Tokio Hotel. How do you deal, as a band, with the constant comparisons? What separates you from Tokio Hotel?

The only thing that we really do have in common is that we are two successful bands from Germany with and extraordinary style traveling around the world. I really think that anyone who finds our music sounds similar must be deaf. But I just don t deal with the comparisons at all because we are doing our own thing and have our own identity.

Your first big tour in the United States was with Lady Gaga who is arguably at the top of the pop food chain right now. Where does Cinema Bizarre go from there with another tour?

Currently we are working on own European WE RE ALL TOYZ -Tour. We are also planning another trip to the US this summer and for sure we also want to come back to play more concerts and a full US tour. GaGa was very supportive and it was a great oppurtunity to go on tour with her.

It was just announced that your album Bang will be coming out in the United States on August 25 th . Can you tell us a bit about what fans have to look forward to? How will this release differ from past albums in Germany?

In Europe we are releasing the second album but we don t want the US to miss the first one. So we decided to make a mix up of the two European albums. But there will also be some tracks that we worked on just for the US market. BANG! is goin to be a firework of glitter, melancholy and power. It s just goin to be bang!

Each member of the band has a very unique look and it seems as if androgyny is a theme. Is this a true statement?

I have always been very androgynous. If you look at pictures from my childhood I already have been lookin different than other kids. At least they made me feel different. I was a misfit and they forced me to think about the way I am. I just don t want to be restricted by what I do by rules that are from another time. Why shouldn t a guy be wearing make up? I don t know who makes that rules and I don t care about those either.
