BIOGRAPHY

..Ego Likeness was created by artist Steven Archer and writer Donna Lynch in Baltimore in 1999. Their music has ranged from raw, darkly experimental trip-hop (Songs From a Dead City, 1999) to moody and melodic electronica (Dragonfly, 2000/2005 DFD) to a fusion of industrial rock and darkwave (Water to the Dead, 2004 DFD & The Order of the Reptile, 2006 Dancing Ferret Discs). Coming from art-based backgrounds, Archer and Lynch incorporate their various non-musical projects into the albums, building connections between their creations. EL was signed to Dancing Ferret Discs from 2004-2009, and is currently scheduled to release their fourth full length album on Metropolis Records later this year.

EL has toured the continental United States, Germany, Poland, the UK, and Luxembourg, and has played at numerous Dracula's Ball events (Philadelphia PA), Convergence 11 (San Diego CA), Eccentrik Festival I & III (Raleigh NC), Freak's United & Goth Prom (DC), The Black Sun Festival I & IV (New Haven CT) and Dragon Con 2006 & 2008 (Atlanta GA).

They have had the honor to tour with The Cruxshadows, Voltaire, Ayria, Angelspit, and Combichrist; and have shared the stage with The Damned, New Model Army, Chris Connelly, Collide, Razed in Black, Das Ich, Rasputina, Meg Lee Chin, Attrition, Carfax Abbey, Anathema Device, The Start, Iris, Decoded Feedback, The Azoic, More Machine Than Man, In Strict Confidence, Hypofixx, Still Life Decay, Nurzery Rhymes, nicki jaine (of Revue Noir), Dismantled, Thou Shalt Not, Anders Manga, Stromkern, The Last Dance, Abney Park, Android Lust, and many others.

They have also appeared on numerous compilation CDs, including several Asleep by Dawn releases and the Neil Gaiman tribute CD 'Where's Neil When You Need Him?' (DFD, 2006); released remixes for The Cruxshadows (Cassandra- Fortress in Flames), The Last Dance (Terribly When- Reflections of Rage), Thou Shalt Not (Inside of You, Inspite of You- The Projectionist), Angelspit (Vena Cava- Krankhaus, Girl Poison-Red Kingdom Black Kingdom), Hypofixx (Demon- After December) and Black Tape for a Blue Girl (Tarnished- Scarecrow) and others;and appeared on Voltaire's album Then and Again. EL has also been featured in publications such as Gothic Beauty, Outburn, ABD, Side-line and Sonic Seducer, to name a few.

Archer and Lynch also have an experimental/ spoken word/ instrumental band called The Trinity Project. Trinity was formed in 1999 and released two albums, The Trinity Project I (1999) and The Subtle Movements of the Entropy Engine (2001).

Archer is the creator of the experimental/noise project Hopeful Machines since early 2005 and has albums available for download. He DJs periodically at Spellbound (Recessions) in Washington DC, and in Baltimore & Philadelphia.
He is the author and illustrator of a children's book, Luna Maris (Imaginary Books, 2008) and a graphic novel, Red King Black Rook (Raw Dog Screaming Press 2009). His illustrations can regularly be found in Weird Tales Magazine and Steampunk Magazine.

In addition to co-writing for EL and touring, Lynch is currently working on several short stories and a second novel. Her first novel 'Isabel Burning' is now available through Raw Dog Screaming Press (www.rawdogscreaming.com). She has released two collections of poetry, 'In My Mouth' (2000) and 'Ladies & Other Vicious Creatures' (RDSP 2007).
