Inlate 1983, Geisha were formed in Melbourne as Geisha Detail with Chris Doheny on lead vocals and guitar; Ken Sheppard on lead guitar and backing vocals & John Nyman on keyboards. The next year in 1984, Chris' younger brother Donoghue Doheny, on bass guitar; and Peter Robertson on drums joined the band.[1] They shortened their name to Geisha and signed with EMI Records.[1] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, described their style as "1970s glam rock and early 1980s English New Romantic bands such as Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet".[1] In February 1985 the group released their debut single, "Fool's Way", which appeared on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart.[2] It was produced by Dave Marett (The Exponents) and was written by Chris Doheny.[3][4]
In March 1986 Geisha re-released "Rainy Day". However, by the mid year, John Nyman, Chris' brother Donoghue Doheny & Peter Robertson all left the band. In July, They had become a three-piece, with Chris Doheny (Now with playing bass at that time) and Ken Sheppard joined by Bret Luton (ex-Dance Park) on drums. Their next single "Part Time Love Affair" was released in August 1986, which reached No. 24 on the Kent Music Report and No. 3 on the Melbourne charts, which was Geisha's high charting single.[1][2] In September 1986, Geisha along with Painters and Dockers played in different train stations titled Rockin' The Rails. Around late September or early October in that year, they recorded "Normal People" (Which was later released the next year of October 1987) and "Girl Like You". Both of those songs are composed by Chris Doheny and Ken Sheppard. "Girl Like You" was issued in November 1986 as an EP release, which also charted nationally.[2][1]
After Geisha disbanded, Chris Doheny wrote for notable Australian Acts such as Daryl Braithwaite, which Chris Doheny wrote 'In My Life" (That would have been feature for Geisha's lost third album "No Second Prize" that Chris originally recorded in December 1987) for Braithwaite's comeback album Edge in 1988; James Blundell, and Lee Kernaghen. In late 1989, Chris Doheny was a touring bassist for Sweden band Roxette (Who came to Australia when their 1988 singles "Dressed for Success" and "Listen to Your Heart" were in the Australia charts) for Australia TV performances. In 1990, Chris Doheny formed All the Young Dudes with Pierre Gigliotti (ex-Pseudo Echo) and released a mini-album in 1991. In 1993, Chris Doheny formed his hard rock project, Dragonfly, with Craig Harnath (ex-Kids in the Kitchen, Chocolate Starfish), and released two extended plays, River of Love and Black Money. In 1994, Doheny provided lead vocals for "More Than a Game", the opening theme song for Nine Network TV program The Footy Show,[1][7] which charted in the top 60 of the ARIA Singles Chart,[8][9] becoming his first appearance on Australian charts as a solo artist. In September 1997, he released a solo single, "Can You Hear the Rain" (Roadshow Music).[1] In April 1998, Geisha temporarily reformed with the 1984-1986 line-up (Chris and Donoghue Doheny, Ken Sheppard, John Nyman, and Peter Robertson) for a live performance at The Mercury Lounge at Crown Casino in July of that year, and EMI Records released a compilation album, The Very Best of Geisha, in August.[1][10][11]
In January 2010, Geisha released another compilation album, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, which provided two singles, "Birthday" (previously an iTunes release) and the double-A sided "Mystery Writer" / "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band". Two additional tracks are cover versions of Small Faces' "Tin Soldier" and The Beatles' "Come Together". In late 2010, Matera left the group to focus on his solo career. In 2011, the Geisha line-up of Doheny on vocals, guitar and bass guitar; Tom Hosie on drums (previously in the 1987 line-up); and Alby Stefani on bass guitar, guitar and keyboards; recorded material for a proposed new studio album, Dysphasia. The lead single, "Sailing", was issued in July 2011.[19] According to Chris Doheny's website, the album was due before Christmas in 2011.[19] Early in 2012, Doheny released a solo single, a cover of Foo Fighters' "Times Like These".

It was limitedly available for purchase at the OTAKON 2013 venue as a result of T.M.Revolution performing at the convention. It got sold out on the first day of the convention and is now out of print. 2 months after its limited release in the United States, it was available for purchase in Japan in three different versions: a 2CD+Booklet Limited Edition A (including a bonus CD and a Booklet featuring anime illustrations), a CD+DVD Limited Edition B (including a DVD featuring the PVs of some of the songs included in the album), and a CD Only Regular Edition. The album peaked at #6 on the Oricon charts and charted for eight weeks, selling 15,963 copies.
GEISHA's initial years were marked by fervent creativity and dedication. Between 1985 and 1988, the band diligently worked on honing their craft, producing three powerful demos that hinted at their musical prowess. Each demo showcased the evolving identity of GEISHA, foreshadowing the brilliance that was yet to come.
"Phantasmagoria" is a sonic journey that encapsulates the essence of GEISHA's metal prowess. The album is a fusion of thunderous guitar riffs, dynamic drumming, and captivating vocals, creating a soundscape that resonates with the raw power of classic heavy metal. The tracks delve into themes of fantasy, mystique, and the darker realms of the human psyche, weaving a narrative that captivates listeners from start to finish.
The creation of "Phantasmagoria" was a labor of love for GEISHA. The band meticulously composed and arranged each track, infusing their music with a distinctive blend of melody and aggression. The recording process was a journey of experimentation and self-discovery, as the band sought to capture the essence of their live performances in the studio.
The production of "Phantasmagoria" was a collaborative effort, with each band member contributing their unique talents to the mix. From the thundering basslines to the soaring guitar solos, every element was carefully crafted to create a cohesive and impactful listening experience.
