10. MASCARA wears whatever the hell they want...
Edited on Sat Oct-23-10 12:33 PM by onager
MASCARA in all caps because it's an acronym for "Massive Scar Era" - Egypt's only all-female heavy metal/electronic jazz/etc. band. (Formerly all-female, I guess - they added a male drummer in 2009).

I lived in Egypt from 2005-09 and this band was very popular. Their concerts attracted everybody from young head-bangers to entire families.

According to the band, their name is a comment on the violence of modern history/society, which is a "massive scar era."
