Hanging out on MySpace has it's perks. I recently caught wind there of The Divine Madness and while I can't attest to their mental status I can say that I'm enamored with their music.Fronted by the captivating voice of two time phoenix Victoria Mazze they sound something like a cross between Berlin and Celeste Lear with a bit more lean towards distortion and darkness. Victoria's voice is breathtaking with a curiously original yet familiar timbre that makes me think of a hybrid between Terri Nunn and Lijie.
Victoria Mazze (VOX), Chris Cano (Drums) and Chris Ride (Keys) make up the band. They write and perform their own material and credit "JOHNNY BURKE & RAIN" (Guitars) as "special guest stars".
They currently have one 4 track compilation out with the Precious EP and the debut full length Secrets is due out soon. Last I read it was up in the air but they may be releasing Secrets as a double disc.
A video for the song Closer is included on the DVD for the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula's Curse" and can also be viewed on their MySpace profile. This is well worth the time even if you're on dialup as it cache's after one run and you can replay it with no streaming glitches after it buffers up fully the first time.
I've embedded the YouTube stream of the video below.
The Precious EP can be purchased from their online store or their MySpace profile (see the links below).
If you haven't heard The Divine Madness you're sorely missing out on some really good music.
