Danielle De Velasco aka Mad Moll Higgins

About Me


This is the first solo album from Danielle, aka, Mad Moll from The Lusty Revel Wenches. It features 9 tracks, plenty of harpsichords, foppery, and consistent extended metaphors. Combining the spirit of Tom Waits, the eccentricities of Tori Amos, and the musicality of the baroque period, in a style all her own, "Parlour Confessions" stands as a unique musical achievement, and a good time for all of us angry, resentful and slightly deranged folks. Due out Saturday January 27th, 2007. CD release party location to be announced.
CD's will cost $15.00 on and after the 27th. If you pre-order before the 20th, you get $5.00 off!!! WEEE!!!! Pre- ordering through paypal will become available shortly on this profile, and so will sample songs from the album.

Danielle is a manticore with a rather large cellular phone. She enjoys, among other things, harpsichords, old British men, and stiffly boned corsets.

The full title of "A Very Fine Dance" is "A Very Fine Dance in D Minor ('D' Meaning Dreadful), an Ode to Lemony Snicket".

Danielle has been playing music for ten years. Yes, she has. She started with classical flute and then moved on to Hammer Dulcimer, making that her main love in life. She also plays bodhran, keyboards, whistle, recorder, and sings in different languages.
She wishes she played the accordian and the hurdy gurdy. She needs to quit smoking.
She has won several awards for her musicianship in the Irish genre, and also is proud to be a former Champion Irish Dancer, and currently, a damn good Belly Dancer.
Danielle really wishes she could walk around in a white wig, but then people would probably get the wrong idea.
She has composed various pieces of classical music, including a fugue, a Requiem (still in the works) one concerto, a sonata, a Nocturne, and a Kyrie Mass.

DANIELLE IS ALSO HEARTILY AMUSED THAT HER MUSIC HAS BEEN SAID TO BEAR RESEMBLANCE TO "PIRATE SHANTYS." THOUGH SHE WAS UNAWARE THAT PIRATES LIVED IN VICTORIAN LONDON AND WORE KNICKERS. SHE WILL REFER TO HER NAUTICAL DICTIONARY FOR REFERENCIAL ERRORS.---
Danielle supports the molestation of any and all Malfoys. Danielle also supports your local Homunculus Notch Chapter. "The few, the concave, the sticky."
FREE LUCIUS.
By the way... DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE. DON'T WEAR FUR. Or I just might skin YOU alive.
Not even kitties are safe... ::sniffles::
Also, nobody DOES chicken like KFC... ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr.......
Thank you for visiting Danielle's activism corner. We will now return to our regularly scheduled program...
