Fairmount Girls-Darlene-Culture Queer drums and bass
Cincinnati Ohio
My first band in which I played drums is Fairmount Girls which started in 1996-present day. We did a lot of touring and peaked with the album Tender Trap. Present Day Fairmount Girls is an all girl band.
In 1999 my Fruit Pop band Culture Queer began playing clubs and art shows. Probably the most prolific group I've been in. We're working on our fifth album release "Bloodbath and Beyond". I play drums in CQ.
2010 was the year Darlene started. Darlene is dreamy and dynamic. an indie rock 3 piece. I play the bass and the buffer.
I am currently in Fairmount Girls, Culture Queer and Darlene.
I also dabble as a utility/background vocalist. Presently with the indie-hip-hop-art-rock-hero Abiyah.
I sing a track on an Afghan Whigs album, couple songs on a Wolverton Brothers record.
Last year I participated in a rock opera/film project called End of the World. we practiced all year for one performance : )
I also, dabble in Fashion with my vintage shop Chicken Lays an EGG in Northside doing fashion shows , parades and fashion video spots.
