Band Members:CruelSweet on MySpace:

MisterDaddySir
Dark industrial dance dub... Healing -or, at least- therapeutic. MisterDaddySir is the originator of the cruelsweet smile. And the mai tai.

L'Égrégore
Dedicated to the mysteries of poetry, absinthe and drum'n'bass. Reinventing golden age decadence and debauch, one dram at a time... Meditation music for a season in Hell.



C. Olson C.
Melodramatic pop songs in English and Spanish with a new wave bossa nova feel... and a bit of a nouvelle vague twist.

CrazyOldMan
