About Me

..The ancient Egyptians believed that death brought on a 12-hour journey to the eternal afterlife. Each hour filled with judgment requirements and tasks by Gods and Goddesses. One may successfully reach the Egyptian netherworld at 12 hours and 1 minute.. or.. 12:01. Is this sort of Egyptology responsible for the recent rumored theory behind the name of Denver band, Project 12:01?Project 12:01 is the best-kept secret in Darkwave music. Gorgeous, unearthly female vocals weave their irresistible layers through dark, milky, dancey electronic soundscapes. Melissa London’s siren-esque vocal stylings range from school-girl whispers to seductive poppy purrs to operatic and eastern influences. Counterpart Noel Johannes can be defined as something between a mad synth scientist and electro gear god."Project 12:01 have a saucy minx on vocals and wield great electronic depth charges" - quotes legendary goth-rock journalist, Mick Mercer.Project 12:01 has shared the stage with well-known national acts such as KMFDM, Mindless Self Indulgence, 30 Seconds to Mars, Wolfsheim, Gene Loves Jezebel, the Cruxshadows, etc. Adding in additional band members for performance, Project 12:01’s extraordinary studio outfit becomes a mind-blowing live act filled with amazing energy and mesmerizing theatrical themes.Project 12:01s CD, Last Pharaoh is available through CD Baby (cdbaby.com/project1201) for about $10. Last Pharaoh, title referring to Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt, includes 15 enticing tracks, smoothly crossing genres of goth, industrial, trip-hop, electro-pop, and even tribal. Last Pharaoh has been selling internationally and receiving constant positive acclaim from clubs, zines, radio stations, and Project 12:01’s ever-growing fan base.Plain and simple, Project 12:01 has style.
