Bio:
Band formed in 1985 in Denmark,Copenhagen, Hovedstaden.Danish/Swedish act with former Brats vocalist/bassist Jens Arnsted, later also known as Yenz Leonhardt.A second album called Conform or Transform was planned for 1988, but the band broke up before finishing the recordings. Yenz Cheyenne and Tony Niemistö formed a new project called =Y= along with guitarist Oliver Steffensen (Mike Tramp).Armed with the looks and hooks most bands could only dream about, these mid 80's bad boys turned Glam Metal on its head with their insane mixture of KISS, VINNIE VINCENT INVASION, W.A.S.P. and ALICE COOPER. They simply annihilate the masses with one classic anthem after another.Just wait till you sink your teeth into "U Got What It Takes", "S & M Youth" and "Claws Of Sin" - if you don’t feel a bit like you have harkened back to the days of the KISS masterpiece "Destroyer", you might need to get your ears checked.Ripping their way through Europe and parading a legendary group of musicians through the band that would later wind up with titan artists such as Hammerfall, Motorhead, Scorpions and Europe – it’s tough to not be excited and just scream out - they are a Glam Metal fantasy gone wild.We don't need to do much more talking on this release as the music stands all on its own. We will say this though, do yourself a favor and grab your copy of this unbelievable find today - bands like this did not come around very often and we are thrilled that we finally get to unleash their madness onto the world!The CD is digitally remastered and comes packaged in an 8 page booklet with a full set of lyrics along with a 1,500 word biography penned from GEISHA lead man himself - Yenz.

Digitally remastered under the titled “Youth Stand Tall“, this release comprises all the recordings of Denmark’s 80’s glammy hard rock act GEISHA ranging from 1986 to 1988.Armed with the looks and hooks most bands could only dream about, these mid-Eighties bad boys turned Glam Metal on its head with their insane mixture of KISS, VINNIE VINCENT INVASION, W.A.S.P. and ALICE COOPER. They simply annihilate the masses with one classic anthem after another.Just wait till you sink your teeth into “U Got What It Takes”, “S & M Youth” and “Claws Of Sin” – if you don’t feel a bit like you have harkened back to the days of the KISS masterpiece “Destroyer”, you might need to get your ears checked.Ripping their way through Europe and parading a legendary group of musicians through the band that would later wind up with titan artists such as Hammerfall, Motorhead, Scorpions and Europe – it’s tough to not be excited and just scream out – they are a Glam Metal fantasy gone wild.We don’t need to do much more talking on this release as the music stands all on its own. Bands like this did not come around very often, and this Geisha were different indeed, at least for the European scene.These are all the singles – ep’s the group released in Europe plus some unreleased recordings, shock rock with a US glam hard rock sound, and lots of attitude.
