Band Members

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 forthcoming 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 did a tour last feb and have an E.P. out, that the lovely Huw Stephens has been playing. We are planning to make a whole full length bonafied album sometime in the next twelve months or so........

Project TOOM is also now up and running (myself and Team Brick) we are planning an album and some live extravaganzas! Keep a watchful eye.....

I am currently composing music for a dance and visual art project in Cardiff as well with the view to live performances eventually. Exciting. More about that later.....

Sounds Like

Here is what Mike White from Venue Magazine thought of the last gig:

......"leaving us alone and defenceless in the face of the evil, seductive power of Kemp's voice as she works through a mesmerising, intimate solo show, previewing next album 'Unholy Majesty' who's title works as a description of her set, her guitar like Jack White hotwiring the Sonics' pick-up truck, the eerie potency of her snarling siren voice leaving me curled with pleasure, lost for words- literally. My usually skittish biro lies paralysed in my hand, scrawling only 'shuddering, brilliant' and noting that she encores with an astonishing accapella cover of 'Fairy Mary Mag'- brave given that Cardiacs' Tim Smith is actually there in the crowd- but she makes it entirely her own, sweetly solipsistic and twisted to perfection."

Ta for that Mike :) x

“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, signing 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

Here are a couple of the new live tracks recorded at our 5 piece band debut on oct 13th

This is a track from Ufomammut's forthcoming album that I performed with them live in Torino, Italy on the last tour

Here is the video to my First Single, "Violence", which came out on lovely, shiny, red, limited edition 7inch vinyl on November 20th. yay! the video was made by the wonderful Frànçois & Rozi Plain - thanks to them!

"the unholy" is truly epic, haunting work. Sounds as if there is a monster release on your hands. from what you've put out for all to hear it is making _a hand full of hurricanes_ sound like child's play.

have you considered hiding images of pagan activities on future albums using a spectrogram?

"An untitled audio track by Treetops McPhoenix to accompany a video for the Stephen Moles Coma ARG on Facebook is made entirely from images of the Mona Lisa", says wikipedia.
