Deshabillz

Japanese visual kei band lead by vocalist Shun and formed in Yokohama in 1992. Previously known as Gust, the band changed name to Deshabillz slightly more than a month after forming and losing most of the members. After several lineup changes the band settled with Shun on vocals, Shi-no on guitar, 美歪 on bass and Toshiyuki on drums in late 1994. Toshiyuki left the band in 1997, and few months later the band debuted as a major act after signing a deal with EastWest. At the same time drummer Kazuki joined the band. On May 7 1998, both Deshabillz bassist 美歪 and Madeth gray'll guitarist 歪 died in a car crash while they were driving to hide (2)'s funeral. It was later announced that Deshabillz would disband. Deshabillz eventually resurfaced in 1999 as 螺旋ウィルス (Rasen Virusu) to release a memorial EP dedicated to 美歪 on the anniversary of his death on May 7 1999. In early 2008, ten years after the disbandment announcement, Shun revived Deshabillz as the only formal member and held a memorial concert on June 1st. In occasion to this, a couple of new CD's were released with the help of session musicians and with Kisaki as songwriter.
