Black Roses, Poetry & Death

About Me

From the ashes of the "New Romantic" generation, an icon was born. Forged by friendships with the likes of Marc Almond (former room-mate), Andrew Eldritch and Wayne Hussey and former member of Temple Ov Psychic Youth (tattoo and scars to prove it) it was only a matter of time before I would ignore my roots in theatrical entertainment and descend into the world of Goth singer. Now, nothing more than an English Goth, who was there from the very inception, trapped in the Dark under-belly of East Coast Hell; a regular home-from-home. But I had a thirst for more NYC was just not dark enough, so that place you call "Sin City" called my name. Having starting this project on a whim, its popularity grew. and now, through my misery I will share my soul, my world, with my fellow dark creatures.Good things said and done: We have headlined goth festival. Opened for VNV Nation. Played the last night of NYC's Legendary club "CBGB's". Had radio play in New York City, Leeds, London, Boston and Las Vegas Received critical acclaim from musicians in established bands like Getting the Fear(formerly members of Southern Death Cult), Annie Hogan (former Marc and the Mambas keyboard) and Futon (top rock band in Thailand) Paul Van Dyk has shown interest in re-mixing. Band members have worked with the likes of Psychic TV and opened for Mercyful FateAlways remember this golden rule : THOSE WHO DO NOT REMEMBER THE PAST ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT.
