Diva of the Dead

"It ain't over til the dead lady swings!"

About Me

1962-1996: Buried in a shallow grave outside of Las Vegas, NV.1996-2004: Grave disturbed, I rose again with some other jazz cats to form the internationally infamous ghoul jazz quintet, THE NECRO TONZ. Played some shows, Recorded a couple of CDs-- 1997's "ARE YOU DEAD, YET?" then 2002's 'WELCOME TO COCKTAIL HELL" (both for sale, plus some t-shirts-- e me!). Toured the US. Killed some guys... wait, have I said too much???2004-2005: Took some much-needed time off ("Ihateus," er, I mean, "hiatus.") Call it a Black Sabbatical. Laid about the tomb, ate bon-bons, watched Sylvia Browne on "Montel," listened to Bon Scott, scrubbed the guerney with Bon Ami... oh, wait, I've said too much again, haven't I?2005-present: Got a jazz gig on a luxury liner, boozecruisin' the Bermuda Triangle. COMING BACK TO THE U.S. AND NEED NEW BAND MEMBERS! Inquire within. I ain't sayin' another word...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/2/2005
Band Website: necrotonz.com
Band Members: Looking... stalking... must have great jazz and swing chops, an extensive knowledge of classic rock, at least one tuxedo, and willingness to wear Ben Nye make-up (to cover the horrid rotting flesh...)
Influences: Everyone from dead jazzers to rockers like Alice Cooper... and of course, I have to admit my unhealthy worship of a trio called Black Velvet Flag! Horror flicks, autopsy reports, obituaries, true crime stories, and all things considered morbid aid and abet me in my musical torture trip.
Sounds Like: If Hell had a cocktail lounge, we would be the house band.
Record Label: self-released
Type of Label: None
