pessimystica
Currently a solo female singer; I also play guitar (electric & acoustic) & bass guitar. My music influences are mostly 80s & 90s alternative, goth-rock, new-wave, post-punk, & similar bands & singers. Also, i wanna bring the "rock" back into "goth rock" & merge modern electronic sounds with the 80s goth scene, & still make it accessible. I'm looking for others to play with, but I have posted songs of my own here that i'm working on getting recorded soon.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I don't have a band yet...it's just me right now on vocals, bass & guitar. I've been singing since I knew I could sing... sang in choirs in school & did some talent shows. I've played both guitars for years, & finally got the urge to sing songs of my own.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have done some solo acoustic shows & played bass guitar with some bands in Dallas, which ranged from new-wave, space-rock, & hard rock. I'm primarily a classical musician, & have performed in many venues across the country.

What equipment do you use?
I don't have any fancy equipment, but I love techno/electronica, & would be interested in lending vocals to anyone interested if we had similar musical tastes.
Anything else?
I've been playing music since I was 11... it's my hobby, college degrees, it's even my job... & it's my life. Check out the listed MySpace page for completed recordings that were done in Chicago... this page is just for demos, so I will post more demos & updated demos. Stay tuned for more music & comments are welcome!
