Deshabillz is one of the most representative bands of visual kei. They were the lead band of the Yokohama visual scene back in the '90s. Leader of the band was vocalist SHUN, author of all lyrics and artistic director of the band concept, characterized by dark and melancholic (often disturbing) images. His highly original and complex lyrics can be considered examples of decadent poetry. Main composer was the talented guitarist SHI-NO, his song ranged from gothic rock ballads to post-punk fast songs driven by his somewhat baroque guitarwork. The band name comes from the French word "déshabillez", meaning devoid, deprived or stripped.
