My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/13/2005
Band Website: under construction
Band Members:

The live shows are sometimes just me & sometimes I am acompanied by James 'Statick' King (drums), Joe 'The Fro' Garcia (bass/wall of sound) and for special occasions Dan 'The Prog Man' Greensmith (synth/organ etc) and Sue Beautiful Sue Lord (violin) make us a five piece. They are also the musicians who played on the forthcoming album produced by Chris Sheldon.

I also have a side project with SJ Esau called JEREMY SMOKING JACKET - we are like a softly spoken headache of repeat-core, noise-core and durge-core with some dead special songs/tracks/tunes. We did a tour last feb and have an E.P. out, that the lovely Huw Stephens has been playing. We are planning to make a whole full length bonafied album sometime in the next twelve months or so........

Project TOOM is also now up and running (myself and Team Brick) we are planning an album and some live extravaganzas! Keep a watchful eye.....

I am currently composing music for a dance and visual art project in Cardiff as well with the view to live performances eventually. Exciting. More about that later.....

Sounds Like:
Here is what Mike White from Venue Magazine thought of the last gig:

......"leaving us alone and defenceless in the face of the evil, seductive power of Kemp's voice as she works through a mesmerising, intimate solo show, previewing next album 'Unholy Majesty' who's title works as a description of her set, her guitar like Jack White hotwiring the Sonics' pick-up truck, the eerie potency of her snarling siren voice leaving me curled with pleasure, lost for words- literally. My usually skittish biro lies paralysed in my hand, scrawling only 'shuddering, brilliant' and noting that she encores with an astonishing accapella cover of 'Fairy Mary Mag'- brave given that Cardiacs' Tim Smith is actually there in the crowd- but she makes it entirely her own, sweetly solipsistic and twisted to perfection."

Ta for that Mike :) x
