The live shows are sometimes just me & sometimes I am acompanied by James 'Statick' King (drums), Joe 'The Fro' Garcia (bass/wall of sound) and for special occasions Dan 'The Prog Man' Greensmith (synth/organ etc) and Sue Beautiful Sue Lord (violin) make us a five piece. They are also the musicians who played on the Unholy Majesty album produced by Chris Sheldon.

I also have a side project with SJ Esau called JEREMY SMOKING JACKET - we are like a softly spoken headache of repeat-core, noise-core and durge-core with some dead special songs/tracks/tunes. We have an E.P. out called 'Now we are dead and other stories', that the lovely Huw Stephens has been playing. BUT NOW WE HAVE FINALLY STARTED MAKING OUR ALBUM!!!!! ........

Sounds LikeSupersonic 2009: The DiS Review

Rocking the murderous druid look in a headband and long, dark dress, Rose Kemp frowns with glee as she thanks the more punctual of Supersonic’s punters who have gathered to catch her afternoon spot. "It’s fucking brilliant, Supersonic, isn’t it?" she scowls, before filling the dank, concrete venue with another harrowing slice of last year’s Unholy Majesty album. You can still hear the folk music running through Kemp’s blood – the haunting fifths and lilting ornament learnt at her parents’ (Maddie Prior and Rick Kemp of Steeleye Span) knee, not to mention the sheer clarion power of her vocals on songs such as ‘Milky White’. But she’s long since left the green fields of 'hey nonny-nonny' for somewhere darker. ‘Dirty Glow’ twists and writhes with sexual scorn of Dry-era PJ Harvey, her guitar swelling and crashing as she cackles and exclaims. If Kemp invited you to join her among ancient standing stones at the wan sunrise of a chill winter solstice, you’d go. And you’d weakly whimper "fucking brilliant" as she took her stone knife and stabbed you through the heart. (AB) - Well that's rather super isn't it!! - R x

'Rose Kemp scared the shit out of me, her banshee wail somehow managing to overcome the great swathes of distorted sludge coming out of her guitar. The immense rumbling volume of her performance was all the more frightening and impressive because it was so stripped back – just her and a guitar prowling back and forth, wandering around the stage like a wolf in a cage, shepherding brain-blistering noise and occasionally pouncing on the microphone to unleash a wave of tuneful howling that betrays her folk roots' - Michael Wallace-Pigott http://collectedstories.co.uk/?p=65

“Her Voice possesses the same combination of sensual rapture and existential dread.”
- The Independent

“The kind of tracks that stop you dead in your tracks…sheer swooping grace in Kemp’s voice.”
- The Fly

“Prolific collaborator, singing with 3 Bristol bands whilst steering her own solo career”
- The Guardian

“The authority she yields using vocals alone is truly mesmerising. Addictive listening.”
- Rocksound
