Alice Sweet Alice (ASA), a Psychedelic Darkwave musical group based in New England—USA, was born as a side project of Scott Martinez in the late 1990's. Playing bass for other groups as well as singing backup vocals. All of Scott's previous music in bands and recording was done on the West Coast, in the San Francisco bay area. Most notably Scott released a 9-song LP with Autumn Cathedral, and shared the bill with such acts as Fields of the Nephilim, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, The Posies, Diatribe and Neurosis.
Teaming up with vocalist and keyboardist Ali Kat, vocalist and guitarist Julie Cartonio, and guitarist Jeffrey Galios in the fall of 2007, Alice Sweet Alice is currently in the studio recording their premier release, First Light, due to be released in the summer of 2008 and will be available for sale on iTunes and Amazon.com. Alice Sweet Alice is working with Ravenheart Music in Worcestershire, England and is pursuing distribution and independent label representation.
Alice Sweet Alice have been compared to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the Doors for their hard-hitting rock and psychedelic tendencies, and Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine for their inspired use of the darkwave sonic spectrum. Alice Sweet Alice's music and lyrical content leans towards the macabre, though sometimes inwardly so. Each track is a vignette of its' own—and if listened to carefully, often possesses a sense of dark, dry humor. Subject matter is very diverse, and there is no musical formula. Each song is individualistic in tone and structure.
ASA are currently selling MP3’s through Snocap on a steady basis. ASA has been extensively promoting on the Internet, through radio airplay and magazine reviews. ASA had a song reviewed in the Feb 2008 issue of Recording Magazine, and had a song REMIXED for Sound On Sound Magazine (distributed in Europe and North America), that will be released in May 2008. ASA is also on rotation on many Internet radio stations such as Live 365 (links on ASA’s homepage), and is on rotation in Spain on A Ultima Frontera.
ASA’s first video for “Broken Heart of a Winter Night” is posted on their website, on YouTube, and many other websites around the world to excellent response.
