Take one magickal girl with a brain and one KORG Triton and that's what you will see and hear at this site!
I've been in the underground/industrial/goth scene for some time as a performer [vocals, keyboards, drums, programming, dance, guitar] and songwriter and have been conjuring some cool stuff [like organizing a couple of international tours to fun places like Chernobyl, Moscow, Warsaw, Siberia and throughout California] and with some acclaim--e.g., my "We Are Magick" as performed by The Power of 3 is getting airplay and club play from California to Europe...Mick Mercer put me in his "Hex Files: the goth bible"... and you can find me in various issues of Outburn magazine in "universal black".
My live performances in California include Malibu, Hollywood, Los Angeles and San Francisco, most notably: Malibu/Agoura Hills--The Dume Room (9x!). The Canyon Club. Hollywood/LA--The Garage, The Smell, Spaceland, The Cat Club, Zen, Goldfinger's, The Gig, Club Vodka, The Joint. San Francisco--Lennon Studios, Maritime Hall Kimo's, The Cherry Bar & Lounge, The Haight Street Fair and the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
I am a prolific songwriter and have over a hundred tunes in my vault--at least 30 are "hits". I also like to write emotional "soundtrack" material. Counter-melodies. Rhythm. Groove. Bottom. Tone. Style. Edge. That's where I like to be.
My band "The Power of 3"--having only two human members--effectively turned me into the drummer and bass-player as well as frontperson/keybardist/vocalist, etc. I was dubbed "MIDI-Girl" by a prominent Marin producer, but I'm not an engineer by trade--still, what I produce with my Triton and little Zoom MRS-4 is pretty awesome [...hey, the legendary Malcolm Dome aired my production of The Power of 3's "We Are Magick"--the song that came out the first time I decided to write a "hit"--in London 2004 on Total Rock Radio...and so did KDLE/Indie 103 FM in Los Angeles... "Magick" is currently seeping through all of Europe as well as the US, reportedly being "repeatedly requested"].
I promote love, fun, knowledge, independent thinking, getting people to connect and believe in magick again--making music, magick and love are my favourite things to do. I strive for the highest consciousness. I would like to connect with complementary beings to work/play with, who would like to be a part of making something awesome happen--for fun and prophet.

THE RETURN OF THE BAT
Specimen will bring their special brand of glam mayhem, The Batcave to London again.
After last year’s wildly-successful 25th anniversary Batcave event, The Batcave returns to its original spawning ground of London’s West End on Sunday July 19 for another night of blasphemy, lechery and blood.
Specimen (Fresh from a fantastic show at Leipzig’s Waves Gotik festival), the original Batcave instigators will headline the lurid frolics at the Embassy Club, (29 Old Burlington St, London W1S3AP) Also on the bill are original Batcavers Sexbeat, with DJs Hamish and Cavey Nick, cavorting from decks to decadence with the usual brutal, trouser-dropping surprises & suitably confronting & barbaric entertainment.
The 2009 Batcave will feature installations from exciting new artists of the ‘Dark London Underground’ and visuals from the upcoming ‘Welcome To The Batcave’ book, along with this year’s bitcrushed message from the creature in t
