The **EXCITING NEWS** is that since the Psychedelic Furs show Saturday
is cancelled, the Red Devil Lounge has generously offered to accept
tickets and will call info for that show, at Saturday's show. I assume
that means you can still get refunds, plus a $10 value at our show as
well. See here: http://www.reddevillounge.com/calendar_july.html

Here's a review of Spellbound, plus a very nice mention of my new album
Blossoms, by "some guy":

The other night I decided to drop in on a show that featured a couple of
tribute bands. Doing the tribute band thing is usually not my deal. Yet
being a drummer myself I would personally toy with the idea of involving
my efforts on a tribute project. So that night at the Uptown in Oakland,
CA I decided to give Spellbound, a tribute band to Siouxsie and the
Banshees a whirl. The tribute band would feature three forty something's
on guitar, bass, and drums, who during the course of the show would
reveal themselves as absolutely kick ass musicians especially the
drummer. Fronting the band playing the ambitious roll of Siouxsie Sioux
is an aesthetically spellbinding twenty something who was spectacularly
talented. Erica Mulkey as Fliouxsie delighted the audience with her
winsome yet sassy wit as well as her true to life replication of vintage
Siouxsie on top of that she flossed her gifted skills as a virtuoso on
the Cello playing Killing Jar as well as her beautiful sounding Unwoman
CD Blossoms. Truly amazing, I strongly recommend this CD and the what's
strange is it is so outside anything I normally listen to and yet this
work blossoms with beauty and goodness! For the first half the show I
was struck breathless by the stunning radiance Erica's act as Siouxsie,
but a funny thing happened during the show; as if one where lucky enough
to be victim of a lightning strike I became incredibly aware of how good
these musicians really where. They reflected their love and adoration
for Siouxsie and the Banshees by not only the pinpoint precision that
they accurately played their songs but slightly nuanced the songs live
as if they were the Banshees themselves. It is at this point where they
really took off as an incredible tribute act. The drummer struck me the
most, as I positioned myself under the monitor the pounding syncopated
beat hypnotically carved away physically at my heart coupled with the
aesthetically mesmerizing Erica I was truly spellbound! If anyone where
to undertake a tribute project themselves they would be immensely served
to check out Spellbound, they are the standard of tribute bands.
