Lord of the Lost & The Birthday Massacre, Fonda Theatre, Los Angeles, CA
The Birthday Massacre’s soundscapes have captivated a diverse and devoted following. The band formed in 2000 under the name Imagica and performed their first gig at Diversity Nightclub in London, Ontario, Canada.
Their initial lineup included Chibi (vocals), Rainbow (rhythm guitar), Michael Falcore (lead guitar), Aslan (bass guitar), and Dank (keyboards). With this configuration, along with the addition of OE on percussion, they produced a seven-song demo EP in a very limited edition. The year 2005 was significant for The Birthday Massacre. Not only did they incorporate O-En on keyboards, but they were also signed in Europe by Repo Records and in North America by Metropolis Records. Both labels re-released Violet as a full-length album, adding four additional tracks. With the opportunity to develop their distinctive sound, the broader commercial release of Violet attracted many new fans while still appealing to those who appreciated the band’s debut album. A music video for their track “Blue” was launched, produced by NYC artist and director Daniel Ouellette. The video complemented The Birthday Massacre’s style; it showcased their ability to intertwine themes of horror and tragedy with elements of fun and satire, resulting in a unique and versatile experience. In early 2007, The Birthday Massacre and Metropolis Records opted to re-release the band’s self-released 2002 debut, Nothing and Nowhere. This album features early renditions of popular Birthday Massacre songs and includes five tracks that had not been accessible since the original release went out of print. The album serves as an exceptional collection for both completists and newcomers. With their upcoming album, Walking With Strangers, set to be released in autumn 2007, The Birthday Massacre once again surpasses the expectations of their expanding and dedicated fan base. Co-produced by Rainbow, Falcore, and the renowned Dave “Rave” Ogilvie (who also mixed the album), TBM remains faithful to the sound that earned them acclaim from fans and music critics alike, while further refining and enhancing their signature style. Once more, The Birthday Massacre successfully fuses gothic, rock, and electronic music into a sound that is distinctly their own and remarkably original.
