Scott met Mark when he was working for the county's library system when he got out of college. A year or two later, he mentioned that he had written some songs with another friend, Kevin, and asked for help recording them. The three of them got together in Scott's bedroom, with an organ & two synthesizers playing through a small guitar amp, and recorded two songs on Mark's boombox, Birthday Blue (I Cried For You) and Working For The New Police State. They later moved to the basement, and wrote & recorded a bunch of other material.
Over the years, they managed to stay in contact (& keep writing songs), and have found that the internet is a great tool for enabling them to collaborate without regard to the distance between them. They finished a four-song EP, Vale Of Tears, in January of 2004; the first full-length CD is finished, and should be available soon online, for those who would rather not have mp3s. Composing for the next CD has begun. Watch this site for more info!Have you performed in front of an audience?Dark Victory? has not played live as of yet. We live in Pittsburgh and St Louis so we're spread out. But if it is possible for us to play live and when the opportunity presents itself, we are going to take it.
Your musical influences
All of us have a LOT of divergent influences in rock, pop, r&b, jazz fusion, prog, reggae, folk and blues. Too many to mention here.What equipment do you use?
Recording is done in Sonar (currently version 8.5), with a variety of hardware (Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Sequential, Emu, Kuzweil, Moog, and Hammond) and software (Native Instruments, Spectrasonics, Cakewalk, Rayzoon and others) instruments. Vocals are recorded in Scott and Kevin's basements, respectively. Additional instruments and vocals may be recorded in other locations. Kevin uses a Shure SM-58, and Scott is currently using an MXL 2001.

Have a Blast this 4th of July!!
See you in the charts
keep your head stoned
Don't let the fact that it's all my picture
confuse you too much, you who do not
know us yet. John Lennon uses my body.
But he's always nice enough to return
it when he's done. ~Lesley Jane
PS...
Kevin Dear,
that is one of the nicest posts
I've ever gotten on my message board.
God Bless You
And All Who Are Dear To You.
Dark Victory is an Essential Band
for the New Millenium.
One of the New Grand Masters,
To Be Sure.
I'm American Lesley Jane.
And I just bloody said so.
And you may quote me.
There you go.

The new Dark Victory album. We're all lookin forward to it, Mates. This is a band we respect the bloody hell out of.
Who are we?
We're BEATLESEX.
Go hear our historic new album
"Together Again"
by Pete Shotton & BEATLESEX.
Pete's me life-long-and-beyond best mate, and an original member
of my first band ever, The Quarrymen.
Right. For real. Before there was
Beatles there was Quarrymen.
Me right hand man was Pete.
And is again. There you go.
Stranger Than Fiction.
Because the fact is, Pete Shotton
came to America to meet us.
This after we'd spoken in email for
two bloody years. And the truth of
the matter is, he came to debunk us.
Instead, he recognized his old mate.
And everything got a bit realer.
That is the truth.
~John Winston Ono Lennon
I'm lookin forward to it, Guys.
God Bless,
Much Love,
~Lesley
