Here's a few bands I've played in, listed backwards from the present to the past.


THE SUICIDE LOUNGE

bass guitar, vocals
(2007-present)

Some reviews from The Rogue Festival 2008:

"... a show sprinkled with deft musicianship, comic flair and a dose of irreverence ..."

"Joy has the most beautiful voice, and such incredible style - in her interpretation and her stage presence - and her version of “Lush Life” is to die for ... it’s quite lovely to see how they combine drop-dead cool with humour.”

“Fantastic musicianship and easy-going natural talent make this a show in which you can relax with confidence that these folks are going to touch you with their music.—whether it’s something bawdy and fun, or something deep and heartfelt."
