Rules.

Anyone else excited for Ruby Throat?

And anyone know where I can find LYRICS to her stuff???

lyrics for ruby throat, the ventriloquist or match stick girl aren't posted anywhere but none of that stuff has been released yet. i'm REALLY excited about ruby throat though. i completely adore her. and queen adreena is releasing TWO albums next year!! (studio album and b-sides/rarities i think).
katie jane is doing an exhibit at 'the woom' of some of her pieces or art. i saw photos taken by someone who went but it didn't look too exciting. she is lovely though.

Anyone know anything about her childhood? I heard she lived on a boat?

She did. From her Daisy Chainsaw days to an interview she did when Queenadreena's third studio album (The Butcher And The Butterfly) was released, she's been mentionning this, along with being very close to her sister Melanie - probably best known now as Maple Bee, as a solo artist, former part of Katharine Blake's Mediaeval Baebes, or involved in pop act Huski...

There's a pretty comprehensive biography on this site.

I'm glad Katie gets her very own thread on here, and yes, the Ruby Throat songs definitely are lovely. I miss the animation that used to be displayed as Katie's site intro by the way...

I see the Lesions In The Brain comic book hasn't been cited so far, anyone else excited by this to be unveiled as well?

yeah she's quoted as saying (several times) "6 miles beneath me, infinity above" or something along those lines. also i've read she uses an antique sewing machine because when she was young, sewing sails on he dads boat, the needle on her electric sewing machine went through her finger and sewed her to the sail.

she's my favourite artist. seems so lovely and interesting in interviews.
and for whoever asked ruby throat is like.. eerie folk or. i don't know? check out the myspace page for them. completely worth it.

I was about to post about this.
do u guys like QA and DC too?
anyone go on the forum?
Two new QA albums out soon....

i used to really love queen adreena & daisy chainsaw..
i haven't listened to them for ages, but i still love childproof lots,it's a lovely song.
i've only heard one ruby throat song as yet, but im excited.

Love QA, keep listening!
I've got a few of the RT tracks, they're obviously less heavy than QA, but still have that wonderful voice on, full of innocence and there's some sort of fragility about her voice as well. And it's great to sing to!
She's a big inspiration to me musically....

can't stand daisy chainsaw. i really like queen adreena though.

I'm soo fucking excited for Ruby Throat!! I love Queen Adreena!! I like Daisy Chainsaw just not as much. Shes got an amazing voice and I love the lyrics to her songs.

I've not heard enough Daisy Chainsaw to form an opinion but I do adore Queen Adreena - I've also yet to listen to any of Katie Jane's solo stuff looks like I have a lot to catch up on

i love daisy chainsaw (or at least the record she sang on-- eleventeen) but you can really tell she didn't write the lyrics or music. i think that's mostly why i like qa more. i like her style of writing more than crispin's.

I agree.

Lots on her myspace..:
myspace.com katiejanegarsiderubythroat

i`ve heard four songs so far and they`re all amazing!

lyrics to some QA here

This is another good one too:

That site is awesome! Thanks so much.

Also, apart from the Ruby Throat project, Katie released a solo album kind of using an alias. It is so called Lalleshwari - Lullabies In A Glass Wilderness.
The very first edition of this was limited to 300 copies and consisted in a CD along with a DVD featuring four short films directed by both KatieJane and James Sutton (the British photographer at the origin of the artwork of The Butcher And The Butterfly, and who directed the promo version of the band's video for single Medicine Jar, among other numerous implications, and very nice by the way), and sort of an art book with collages and lyrics of KatieJane's.
And given these naturally sold out super quickly, a second edition (only featuring the CD part of the whole lot though) was released last summer (meaning, in 2006), on which track 13 of the original pressing, Play For Us, no longer appears, and is replaced by two new songs, Marybell (rides into town on pig) and In The Birdcage pt.1.

Marybell [...] has particularly noticeable references to Anais Nin's poetry, and In The Birdcage is actually an altered version of a collaboration between KatieJane and Ben Golomstock (Miranda Sex Garden). She indeed appears on three songs from his album, also released last year, entitled Stories From The Moon.
I'll post these in the mp3 sharing thread if anyone's interested

as far as i know lalleshwari is a collection of work she had done over 6 years. which is why it doesn't have much flow to it and the songs are so varying. i really enjoyed it though. they're intending on doing the limited edition deal with ruby throat as well.
