Originally conceived as a studio project for the recording of Phil Fox's 2002 solo release, "Songs for Nocturna", WICKED GIFT clicked so well as musicians and friends that the urge to "go live" became irresistible. Many shows later,"Stained Glass Scars", the band's 2004 debut CD, was released to uniformly positive reviews, highlighting the group's unique and instantly recognizable sound; (twisted, violin-laced, alt-pop/rock).
2006 saw the release of "Down For The Summer", a "musical mini-drama" about one crazed year of living in a southern resort town. Discussions are underway to mount a theatrical production early 2009. Meanwhile, new material continues to be written and recorded for the next, (as yet untitled), CD. The latest "single"; The Island/ Caught In a Dream, will be available this summer. (2008). Wicked Gift live shows have netted a fanatical following; "We love to make records, but live is still what we do best".
WICKED GIFT music may purchased online through CDBaby.com, locally in MB at ; Sounds Better, Kilgore Trout, (Live Shows), and via digital downloads on Apple ITunes, Rhapsody, MusicNet, MusicMatch, and Napster. Thanks !!!!!!!

thank you thank you thank you!!! the real reason i started this troupe is to have a platform to get bands to charleston (our music scene went from frustrating to pathetic) and to give this layed off artist a project to work on and basically draw attention to myself as a graphic designer--if the world won't pay attention to me with my clothes on i will just have to take them off! there will be many shows in the future and the ones in december and january in mb sound fun! please make sure you remind me--me and the girls would love to check them out. glad you enjoyed yourselves tuesday! --rosie hellfire

So, just wanted to let you guys know that you definitely filled my expectations and then exceded them at the show on Friday. I know I said it before, but I can't say it enough. I'm glad I finally started listening : )
Uhm yeah. Missed another awesome show. Maybe I'll schedule my next visit down around your show schedule ; ). Been keeping away from the crazies. GRE scheduled for two weeks. Check out my poems and let me know what you think.
Hey! We are extend our podcast and adding more music to the mix, we were wondering if you wanted to donate a few tracks, they can be live if the recording is top notch. Free promotion for your band.
