[SLEEVE
NOTES from the album]
""Electra's
first band was English Prog Rock band TWELFTH NIGHT. She
had arrived in London after 3 years Performing Arts study in New York,
the city of her birth and Twelfth Night introduced her to
their lifestyle: rehearsing, recording and gigging: the staples of a
rock-band-on-the-road. They were exciting days, punctuated by toxic
binges down the Princess Alexandra on Portobello Road with Lemmy from
Motorhead, and as the song says: "nothing lasts forever". Electra
and Twelfth Night went their separate ways. In their time
together they produced an album, a single and whacked through a couple
months of tour dates.
After restlessly chewing through 3 or 4 less technically skilled bands
and a year living in Amsterdam she returned to London to a career as a
session singer. Electra worked professionally with many songwriters and
producers, including Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, and Rick Fenn
(10CC); but most often with the very gifted songwriter/producer Craig
Pruess (at the time he was scoring films and writing/producing
for Sir Cliff Richard, amongst others - Later he scored for 'Bend
It Like Beckham'). A few years on the session
scene, led to the formation of hard-rock band (DEAD
EASY) with guitarist Ian Jones (who co-wrote the
early METALLICA-single 'BLITZKRIEG'),
which quickly secured major management and a publishing/licensing deal.
This was her dream project and when it stumbled and fell and finally
failed, due to financial (i.e. budgeting) issues (and maybe we were
having a little too much fun!), she wandered listlessly through the
realms of 'new' music; London's dancy/trance scene, an R&B project
titled 'EVA LUNA' with Scottish producer Dave Galbraith
and then out of music's wastelands altogether.
Five years of roaming the
globe brought her full-circle, back to the United Kingdom and life as a
songwriter and musician.
In 2003, Electra was a Finalist in the UK Songwriting Competition with 'Crawl'
and as a result, was invited to perform at the New York Int'l Music
Festival in Madison Square Garden April 03, Las Vegas
July 03, and Los Angeles Sept 03, where she won the Festival's 'Best
Female Rock Vocalist' Award. She claimed her award and performed
again at Madison Square Garden, NYC in November 2003.
She has written an album of songs for her country-rock project DIAMOND
KITTY and is currently developing a new electronic solo
project, DEEP
SIX and can be found on stage exercising her substantial
vocal skills with serendipitous electronic Scottish sonic savants ALTRES;
settling into the discovery of her voice as an instrument; used to
explore and defy conventions. She lives most-times in Edinburgh,
sometimes in San Francisco and will hopefully do so, happily ever
after...
Electra also works with local Edinburgh radio station LEITHFM
(98.8 on your dial). She is currently the promo poster 'face' for the
station and DJ's a show called 'The Unsigned Hour'.""
[[My OWN Notes: The music publishing company MGCK Music
was originally created to protect publishing rights to my own songs
(previously owned by an 'other' publishing company). I fought long and
hard (14 years!!!) to get the rights to my own compositions reassigned
to me. MGCK Productions and MGCK Music are
my project companies, in San Francisco, CA and Edinburgh, Scotland.]]
