This is for performers and music groups who cover their faces when they're onstage. How many can we name?



I'll start with KISS (though there was a time when they wore no make-up during the '80s - '90s).

Yolandi Visser of South African hip-hop duo Die Antwoord.

I had not heard of them until I saw the 2015 film Chappie.
