  • { Paul Steventon-Marks - lead vocals, composer; John Douglas Maddison - keyboards, studio engineer; Olivia Barnard-Firth - fashion designer; Raven du Barry - backing vocals, keyboards; }
  • Electro-dance, 80s punky Goth. Darkwave.

    Industrial beats, eccentric, high camp theatrics. Synthesizers, drum machines, horror samples.

    Taken from phrase in a Poppy Z Brite novel.

    Kitsch stage presence calls to mind the look of Riff Raff and Magenta from the end of RHPS (flashy pseudo-horror cum space-suits). Involved in the UK vampire scene. Poppy Z Brite has had contact with the band, pleased that someone has taken inspiration from her novels.

    2004 - have gone down well in Europe.
