Live at The Colorado Dark Arts Festival
Downtown Denver, Colorado
http://www.coloradodarkarts.com/CDAF.html

Wow!!! all I can really emphasize is “Wow!” Of course, I have a bias as I’m a big zombie fan, but the music and performance of “Zombie Girl” at this years (2006) Colorado Dark Arts Festival made my year … I was blown away and couldn’t stop dancing. Right up my alley and a band I intend to follow … mesmerizing … entertaining … captivating. Visit them at Myspace or their web site and check out their tunes. Of course, their live performance cannot compete with their music tracks. Out of Canada (of course!), Zombie Girl is the new and exciting band of the famous Sebastian R. Komor (ICON OF COIL, BRUDERSCHAFT, MOONITOR, MONOFADER, MUSCLE AND HATE) with his wife Renee Cooper-Komor as the alluring and bewitching vocalist. Their new CD is out “Back from the Dead” and believe me … its worth adding to your collection. Review Rating of a 5 out of 5.

Deviant (Live: Electro-rock, Goth)


Deviant (Electro-rock, Goth)

Live at The Colorado Dark Arts Festival
Downtown Denver, Colorado
http://www.coloradodarkarts.com/CDAF.html

Deviant put on a great performance at the Church for this years (2006) Colorado Dark Arts Festival. I haven’t seen them since the SLC Dark Arts Festival a few years back. Performing their favorites and some from their recent album, they even experimented with some new stuff which had a couple of retakes, but they overcame the incident and still kept us dancing and captivated. Deviant was formed in 2002 by vocalist/lyricist London, and the multi-talented musicians D’MacKinnon and Marcus Wilkerson in Denver meshing together rock guitar riffs, electronic melodies, and driving industrial drums creating their electro-rock presence that has been creating a large following in the Goth scene. Absenta was their first album release receiving praise from DJ’s, college radio, and the underground scene. Deviant won 3 awards at the 2003 Colorado Underground music awards and several tracks off of “Absenta” have been featured in films such as “Throttle” and appeared on compilation albums with other bands. They have since released “Drain You” and “Masochism” CDs as well and are in the works on their next CD. Review Rating of a 4 out of 5.

Hitch or Miss, Part Deux

So all I have to say is thank God I used a gift certificate to see “Hitch”. In all fairness, it wasn’t all that bad but between the predictability and being mind-numbingly painful to watch on the eve of a failed relationship, it lost points with me. I would recommend it as a DVD pick…
