Thank you to those here on Myspace that have helped us further our cause. We can't do this without your support. Here is what you have accomplished so far:
•"Now Lie In It" debuted as one of the top ten selling albums on Metropolis Records.
•"The Sub Space Tour" covered 16 cities in 9 different states in the US including Chicago, Memphis, Phoenix, Atlanta, Houston and Miami.
We are an independent band. The music you're getting is a pure vision, not some marketing scheme.
We couldn't have done this without word of mouth leading to CD sales. And direct support from fans.
"When are you coming to my town?" is the most common question I get. If it were up to us, we'd be on tour non-stop. But none of us have trust funds. Everything we do depends on you.Now is the time to step up and be a solider in our battle to open minds around the globe.
This is me talking directly to you here. If you are in America you know you are sick of what is being shoved down your throats. All the while, what's really happening in music is completely ignored. You're not a freak for expecting better and you're not alone.
It all comes down to supporting the good stuff and showing record companies that they can't force you to like something because it is the only choice you have. You can make a call in one hand, play arcade games in the other with your music collection hanging from your neck and a supercomputer on your lap that is wired to the world. There is no way to keep you from the latest music.

I'd basically like to meet everyone, but I usually like the sweet ones, the shy ones and the genuine ones. It takes guts to be kind in a world based on survival, I admire those that remain hopeful. I like the ones with an agenda similar to mine. What I am looking for are comrades in the fight against conformity, conservatism and capitalism. I am looking for people who see through the crap of the day to day, who see past skin and bank statements and who operate on a different wavelength than Baywatch. I am looking for the ones who aren't afraid. I want to talk to people who don't see boundaries as challenges or kindness as a sign of weakness that can then be exploited. I want to meet those who are confident enough to think that any club who would accept them as a member must be a pretty cool place. I want to meet women who are inspiring, who are not afraid to express themselves and do not follow the rules of barefoot and pregnant (I have nothing against having children as long as they were not meant as toys for you or the Grandparents or to be used as status symbols to impress your neighbors). I want to meet men who have goals and dreams, interests and hobbies (collecting women on myspace is not one of them). I don't care if you wear all the latest goth finery or know the names and birthplaces of every industrial band that has ever existed, it's not a competition. I don't care if you are gay or straight. I don't care if you are androgynous or transsexual. I welcome diversity. I want to be proud of people for achieving, growing, learning, expressing and for being themselves - whatever that is. You can be vanilla, chocolate or strawberry - as long as you don't preach your lifestyle to me we'll get along fine. I don't care to debate you. I know what I am, I am a dominant woman who knows her place in life and I'm happy to not be just like everyone else or what society would like me to be. I want to meet people who are above their animal instincts. I want to meet couples who do not see the man as an ATM, or the woman as an accessory. The 80's were a great time in music but I have moved on. I'm not impressed with narcissists. And I could not be more bored with empty shells that walk around pretending to have substance if I tried (yawn). Your character is not decided based on how well you can accessorize. We base our choices nowadays only on what we see and that is unfortunate, I've always wanted to be way more than that. As a woman I am constantly judged based on appearance and most people never look any further. I like to be what you don't expect. Because I'm more than whatever fantasy you have made up, I'm everything at all times and very real. So beware of your expectations, otherwise I am sure to disappoint. But only if you never dig deeper. I don't want to talk to someone who only sees themself as a reflection in a mirror. Make-up is amazing when used to express personality, it is dull when used to cover the lack of one. I don't want to talk with someone's insecurities, I want to feel the energy of their life, I don't want to be met with judgment or fear. I want to be supportive, encouraging and open. People who get bored easily are boring, if you can't entertain yourself then why should I find you interesting? I expect a lot from people, because I expect a lot from myself. There is more to life than cars and jewelry and I expect to find what I am looking for. Care to join the quest? Go ahead add me, make my minute.
If I've requested to add you, I've read your profile and found you interesting. I may not send an email. I'm not into collecting people. I don't compete for who has the biggest list (I get pages and pages of adds a day, I could easily do the big meaningless list thing). Every profile added I find intriguing in some way. I always respond to emails, unless you are rude, ask something that is answered by my profile or do not respect my relationship - then I will delete you or report you. I am busy and have no time for bullshit or barbarians, but will make time for the right people, always.

Come on people - books are using your imagination, why do you need it presented to you as seen by somone else? Oh I get it, books aren't "cool" to read, people might think you are smart - god forbid, and they take some effort to get through. How can you be an "individual" if you don't pursue knowledge instead of letting others present it to you? ...
whatever, go join the sheep and let yourself be herded around by a bunch of studios run by banks for all I care.
Like they give a shit about art...
I aspire to be my own hero. With these people as my inspiration:
Quentin Z (the most smart, talented and good hearted person I've ever met - his djing is otherwordly), Helen Keller (for not giving up even though she had every excuse), Anne Sullivan (for not letting her give up), Martin Luther King, Martin Gore/ Dave Gahan/ Kraftwerk/ Nick Rhodes (and other musicians who had to withstand backlash for introducing something new + inferior technology to do their art), Rosa Parks (for not moving), Michael Moore for speaking and Barbara Boxer for listening and The Black Caucus for protesting in the first place, Rosalind Franklin, Ph.D. (took picture of double helix DNA structure and died at 37, possibly from her work, never knowing she was the key to one of the most important discoveries of our time), Larry Flynt (for smoking out rat's with his own money), Burt Rutan (Space Ship One and a visionary), Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Those responsible for the Cassini-Huygens space probe on Saturn's moon Titan. If you ever want to impress me then stand up for what you believe in and follow your dreams no matter how hard they are to accomplish - if there's a will, there's a way. Be yourself.
My antiheroes:
George Bush and all his cronies. Governments that keep the people down through fear, intimidation and LIES. Anyone who picks on a person or animal to boost their own ego. Only losers pick on things that can't fight back. People who are afraid of cats or "just don't like them" because you have to win them over to gain their affection. People who do not live in reality and follow instead of think. People who are unwilling to work toward a goal, but expect to benefit from it. People who collect women on myspace, the way some people collect stamps. Drones, abusers and people who react before they think. People who spend time categorizing other people based on their physical appearance, so what? I can't imagine how bored with my own life and insecure with myself I would have to be to bother. Anyone who gets angry because of this paragraph.
