I just wanted to say that I enjoy Shadow Project very much. It would be
difficult not to appreciate a band whose two founding members were
heavily involved in the early Gloom scene in LA.Since Rozz and Eva have
always written lyrics on these subjects, and were in bands who began the
whole anti-christ,fuck,blood, etc..themes so prevelant in Gothic music
today,or if not began,exemplified at a VERY early stage,it would be
unfair to fault them for using terms and images which were part of their
style Thirteen years ago or so!
I saw two live shows here, one which was AWFUL, at the Stone, and one
which was WONDERFUL at One Step Beyond.So I wouldn't judge them on the
basis of seeing one show,hearing one album.
But,they are not for everyone.If you are really into the
Clean,English,synthisized version of Gothic music,like late
Cure,Siouxsie,Sisters,etc..you probably won't like them. They come out of
the Speed Metal/45 Grave/Early Christian Death/Superheroines school of
Gothic music.An animal of a different colour entirely...
Incidentally,so as to prevent severe flaming, I'm not saying there is
anything wrong with the bands I mentioned, I am merely pointing out a
difference in style. I enjoy both styles, but the Shadow Project,etc.
style is closer to my heart since I grew up in LA.
