BROKEN HEARTS AND LUSTY GHOSTS

About Me

GOTHIC BURLESK! SULTRY CATHARSIS!
MENACING MIRTH FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
....
"With the doors shutting behind, you enter a Tim Burton/ David Lynch flavored music landscape...Mark my words that Lux Interior and Poison Ivy are surely dying to collaborate..."
--SMASHING MAG-JAPANESE WEB ZINE (Michael Lara)
"Warm, romantic, dark, seductive, evil...The '40s film Noir atmosphere is always present, like a soundtrack to the films of that age re-interpreted by the Jesus & Mary Chain!"
--STILLBORN EXTREME MUSIC ZINE-ITALIAN WEB ZINE (Polimeno Paride)
"Buzzy metallic rock/pop combination of nightmarish 60s beach music and carnival sounds...Weeeeird, but inexplicably cool. "
--KZSU ZOOKEEPER ONLINE (Mandy Khoshnevisan)
"a mixture of goth, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, and evil carnival music, coated with a heavy gloss of B-movie fetishism...littered with trashy, dissonant no-wave guitar lines"
--SPLENDID (Garrett Splain)
"This is eccentric, mysterious, soundtrack music for sleazy musicals shot on a shoestring budget...full of penetrating truths about stuff beneath the radar."
--DEAD ANGEL (RKF)
"It's really stark glam, really cool."
--JMM-DIRECTOR/WRITER/PRODUCER ("BROAD DAYLIGHT", "TEENAGE TUPELO", ETC.)
"In this case it is not discussed of it of gothic rock, of it of horrorpunk, of it of batcave, of it of post punk but of suitable music to who possess a weekly subscription with an analyst."
--WWW.ERBADELLASTREGA.IT-ITALIAN GOTH ZINE (Mr. Moonlight)
"And this is where the nightmares began, with swinging Goth carnival freakery running wild and crazy...Think lounge music where you wouldn't dare lounge."
--MICK MERCER-UK PUNK/GOTH JOURNALIST (e.g., PANACHE, MELODY MAKER, etc.)
