Velvet Rat

Thee Year of Cancer

About Me

I have been in bands for about 23 years now. In April 2006 I was diagnosed with LYMPHOMA. After 6 months of chemotherapy, I have KILLED and CONQUERED it! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I started VELVET RAT when I lived in CHICAGO in 1990. I used analog equipment and had no musical ability except my voice. So I ended up making soundscapes with lyrics to express my dark depression at the time. All of the Velvet Rat songs are from 1990-1998. The song "Backwards" is my newest piece, written last winter 2005. The song is one of deep sadness for the way the world is changing. I believe the leaders of the world, the evil, wealthy leaders, are Luciferians. This is expressed in a lot of my pieces. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In 1993, I moved to BRIGHTON, ENGLAND to be in a band called ELYSIUM. It was more of a Lush, Curve, sort of band. Kind of poppy. I worked with guitarist/songwriter/scientist CHRISTOPHER PLACK. A true talent indeed. Chris and I, are currently writing music together again and will be going by the name ELYSIUM333, soon to be available on myspace.com! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• England is my true home spiritually. I still dream of my cold sea and rocky beach. When I die my ashes will be set free over Beachyhead, my final resting place. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I moved to DETROIT in 1995. I did not work in a real band for almost 4 years due to the culture shock from this dead, grey city. In 1998-2003, I fronted a semi-arty goth band called RADIUM. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In 1999, I had a KIDNEY TRANSPLANT. My kidney's had been failing since I was 18, due to Strep Throat which went untreated. My Dad gave me one of his kidney's and saved my life! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In 2004, I started a new band called UZZA. It is dark, melodic, and textural. My husband RICH PATTERSON and I, have written all the songs. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I have also been working with a spoken word, anarchist, poet named CHRISTOPHER SHILLOCK. He is a very talented writer and I am fortunate to be able to sing his poems to songs written by myself and Rich Patterson. We will be releasing a CD-ROM book as soon as I recover from the chemotherapy. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I graduated from college in 2004 as a graphic designer. I enjoy photography, painting, and I love horses, especially Arabians, and enjoy english riding. I really love all animals. I should be living on a farm. I have a parrot named Molock. George Bush worships him every year in July at Bohemian Grove in California. It's quite the event! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The drugs I have been taking for my transplanted kidney had given me cancer. 5% chance of that happening, and I have been chosen. I believe it is a blessing and my life is changing for the better. I chose not to die from this cancer and the prognosis is really good. I no longer take things for granted and HAVE NO TIME FOR SHALLOW MINDED or NARCISSISTIC PEOPLE! So stay away, if that is the kind of person you are... •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Doctors don't know ANYTHING about NUTRITION and SUPPLEMENTS. The FDA is controlling what the doctors read and prescribe. THIS MUST STOP!!! My doctor treats me like I'm some kind of lunatic for wanting to eat pure, meat free food. He knows nothing about COQ-10 and can answer NONE of my questions. I would have to go outside of the hospital to an "alternative" MD, which my insurance will NOT pay for! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I will be putting a book of photography together showing the process of of getting cancer and all the weird side effects of chemotherapy. I want to get it published, exposed, and take the money made off the book to be put toward an important research project which deals with supplements, especially COQ-10, and other nutrients that can protect people from the harmful, long-term effects of chemotherapy. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• GEORGE W. BUSH must be IMPEACHED!!! He has now made himself into a DICTATOR and is taking away our CIVIL RIGHTS. I believe he was INVOLVED in 911, along with many other elite people of the world (check out Alex Jone's "Terrorstorm" DVD).These people are evil, and worship an evil source. People must research for themselves before it is too late. Or just dismiss it like the majority of ignorant, selfish, spoiled Americans. I know there are good people out there, we just need to overcome our fear and speak out against these CORRUPT people and set a better example to the world. 333 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This video is of a speech I gave in front of the Minneapolis Federal Building about 911.
