Profile:
DIR EN GREY (formerly stylized as "Dir en grey") is a Japanese band consisting of vocalist 京 (Kyo), guitarist and band leader 薫 (Kaoru), guitarist Die, bassist Toshiya and drummer Shinya. The band was formed on February 2, 1997, after performing one show as the 黒夢 cover-band DEATHMASK on January 24.
Except for Toshiya, the members already played together in one or more former bands, most notably La:Sadie's, the direct predecessor of DIR EN GREY. La:Sadie's disbanded on January 15, 1997.
The band name is a combination of German "dir", French "en" and English "grey" and was thought to mean "Grey Silver Coin" (灰色の銀貨 "Haiiro no Ginka" in Japanese). It was adapted from the song "Dir en gray" on Lareine's 2nd Demo. Except for Kaoru and Shinya, the band members use stage names.

Never heard them actually live, but have seen the Family Values Tour 2006 dvd and I have to say... something different! They used to dress up and give away a whole show which is a certain style (Visual Kei), but turned to the normal side of metal. I do not really like the loud screams and singing in Dir En Grey, however they are something very different than I am used and that's a good thing! I was very suprised to see the singer fake a nosebleed on stage, but based on their site and the wikipedia site that's a left-over piece of show from their Visuel Kei days. All and all a show worth watching, but I do not think I will ever buy one of their cd's.
