Gimmie Danger!

About Me

I am an aggressive, independent, self made woman.I am a hedonist and hopeless romantic at heart.I play the upright bass. Rockabilly and psychobilly are my forte. My band is called Parlor Tricks! Our first show is 04-26-08 at the Monkey Wrench in Louisville. We open for King Sonic!My friends, family, personal growth, and balance matter most.I like my motorcycle, my upright bass, my record player, horror movies, Italian horror, New Orleans, swing dancin', Fall and Halloween, yard sailing, "wine, women and song", hitting the gym, Dark Rides and Spook Shows, and all that is independent and real: music, lit, flicks, art, and people n places.I designed and directed the Baxter Avenue Morgue haunted house/ horror show in Louisville for the past six years. It was an amazing experience and a fabulously progressive project. I have said goodbye, and I am no longer associated with it in any way. I am moving forward with bigger and better projects.
