About The
Newlydeads:
A pulsing rhythm
arises from the underground with a twisted sensuality. Taime's dark musical
vision comes to life as The Newlydeads' creation, Black and Shiny. The
Newlydeads bridge the chasm between two conventions, combining the sinister
elements of industrial with the sultry wail of rock. They create a unique brand
of heavy that is frightenly fresh.
Assaultive
guitar licks and a driving beat will either jolt you from your seat or spin you
into a hypnotic trance. The Newlydeads have utilized computer-enhanced samples
and effects to produce a rock record that is accessible and without clutter. The
broodingly sexual and apocalyptic lyrics paint a nightmarish landscape. The
Newlydeads captivate with penetrating rhythms that cling, as in "Night of the
Living Dead", "Sleeping Pill", and the resurrection of Siouxsie and the
Banshees', "Cities in Dust".
Cloaked in black
garb, faces pale, The Newlydeads immerse themselves in a sado-sexual and shadowy
realm. Taime, (formerly of Faster Pussycat / Pigface), leads the band with his
gothic vocals and sordid lyrics--co-founded by Toddity on vocals and guitar.
Dish, Xristian, and Danny (formerly from NY Loose / The Throbs), join Taime to
form The Newlydeads.
