I read once in the PitchWeekly (Weekly Newspaper for Kansas City) that "Something about Columbia MO --perhaps the sleepy college town life or its close proximity to nowhere --spawns bands steeped in Gothic pop." Now I don't agree with the entire statement but it does hold true in one respect, something about this town makes great music sources like...

SodaAsh
One of the hardest working band I know. Fronted by that kooky, crazy, and sexy girly Erin who's backed up by Erma, John, and Josh. Check their site, buy their new cd "Sci Fi Lullaby", now darn it! Sci Fi Lullaby is available at Street Side Records (Columbia) for $6, at their shows and you may also contact them through their web site for info. Soda Ash is still in format at KCOU 88.1 (see info on KCOU below), so call to request their songs (882-8262). *Copies of the CD are available at Streetside Records for $6. *Finally, we are looking for a second guitarist who will be able to tour with us this summer.





Lucinati
One of the newer bands to enter the Columbia scene. Vocals by Marsha and Music by Bella. This is a real treat for those of you who are Projekt fans, i.e. ethereal darkwave to the core kiddies.


Luftwaffe
A side project of John Stebbins of SodaAsh and Benjamin Kapps of Babylon HoR. To quote the band "It was formed as a disestablishmentarianist movement--and is very indebted to the genius of Boyd Rice and the all too mortal Aleister Crowley..."

Purgatory (Radio Show)
If you are passing through town might I suggest turning your dial to KCOU 88.1 and checking out the only Gothic/Industrial Radio Show in Mid-Missouri --Purgatory--. Follow the Purgatory link at the KCOU site to view information on the show and playlists. Right now the show time is Sunday night the witching hour till 2am.


Dead Elf (On-Line Record Store) Owned by Chip (he's known around the world) this wonderful online record store has a ton of good music and links to the bands.
