Even Ginnicide is unaware of her early life, having wandered out of Death Valley at approximately the age of ten into the arms of a group of Sister of Mercy missionaries. Adopted by the group and taken to their convent in San Francisco, Ginni (her last name remains unknown, changing constantly with her mood between Inimitable, Kim, Grenadier, and a score of other aliases) showed a great aptitude for the organ, piano, and oboe. She left the order at the age of fifteen in 1996 and survived in the San Francisco streets playing Bach hymns on a toy piano. Eventually, she was retained as the pianist in residence at the historic Eureka Lodgings, where Norton I ruled as Emperor of the United States in the 19th century, and played there until 2000. There (allegedly) exists in the hotels safe a priceless tape recording on a guitar/piano set of classic country songs and German heavy metal anthems recorded by Ginnicide and Wendy O. Williams shortly before her suicide in 1998. After she had acquired enough capital for a car and more portable equipment, Ginni hit the road, playing her songs in bars, hotels, and dance halls throughout the American West, Midwest and East, eventually coming to rest in the city of Angels. She currently resides there.
Hi Ginnicide, Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
Ginnniiiiiiii........I hadnt signed into myspace for so long, and was so happy to see your comment when I did. Im fine thank you, and still gonna try to get over to LA in the earlier part of next year. I still think about you often, as I have many of your songs on my ipod. How is it all going? Are you playing a lot of live dates n stuff?
.. Hi there Ginnicide first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
Dear Ginni, Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am glad you like my song VIP - It is also one my personal favourites from the forthcoming album. I hope 2008 will be a magical year for you and I also hope to listen to some new wonderful and breathtaking Ginni-compositions. Love, Richard
It's nice to play shows when people are there! So... If you would like to be on my mailing list send me an E-mail with your NAME and CITY to ntaylorsband@yahoo.com
I just listened to "This Time" and it touched me so much - it's a monumental, a very strong song. It's late here in Vienna and this was the perfect song to go to bed now. I hope you are well. Cheers, Richard
Well girl? How are you doing? I sure hope all is well now for you. Please update your blog for your fans to know how you are doing.....Your last entry leaves us all hangin.
I was just listening to my iTunes on random and you popped up...it reminded me of how beautiful your music and voice are! Come back to Texas, pleaaaze!!!
