About Me

I'm just a metal girl who happens to love singing classical music. I'm 22 years old and a recent graduate of Loyola. I'm looking for any kind of a metal band, although I would prefer something along the lines of gothic doom. A little more about me- I work at Bloomingdale's, and I'll be going back to school soon for a teaching certificate. I love to read, write, sing, and hang out with my dogs, Ollie and Isabelle, and my boyfriend, Greg. I listen to a ton of music, including metal, ethereal, folk, and cabaret, and I would love to perform any and all of those styles of music.

I’ve found a band! (Well, a dude, anyway)

Craigslist really is a great invention. I put an ad up a while ago, and one of the responses I got was from a guy named Craig. After about 45 minutes of practice, we headed to an open mic night at a n...

Amon Amarth

Those guys really put on a good show. The openers were nothing special, although Himsa didn't sound too bad, and they were a lot of fun to watch. Amon Amarth really rocked it though. They sounded so g...

Recorded the EP yesterday

Well, it's (mostly) done. It took us about 3 hours, and I think it really went well. There was some equipment trouble - Aaron's bass kept buzzing, but they got that fixed, and then we were having prob...

My ass is bruised

*lol* I was going down the stairs in my apartment building and on the top step, I skidded and went down about 5 steps on my ass. I now have a nice purple bruise and a limp from hitting my hip on the w...

Ive Found a Band

So I was recently contacted by Gory from Kaserne, a goth/doom band here in Chicago, who were looking for a lead singer. I met with them a couple of weeks ago and sang with them at a rehearsal. I also ...

New Mic, New Songs

I got a new mic a couple of days ago, still a pretty cheap one, but the recording quality seems to be much better. I did a couple of new songs playing around with it - Stolen Child by Loreena McKennit...

I’ve Been Tagged

I have been tagged! I've listed 11 things about myself that you may or may not know, some people find suprising or weird, or just generally goofy things about myself. If I've tagged you that mean...

Anneke should probably be my top inspiration

I posted a new song - Shrink, from The Gathering's Nighttime Birds. I love the song, but it was really hard to get right. I think this version is good though, and really shows dynamics and vibratto. I...

Sent in songs...

Sent in a few songs to The Gathering. I know I don't have a snowball's chance in hell, but the worst they can say is no, right? Chances are I won't hear anything from them, but like several people tol...
