FRITZ KUNDLER

Alice Sweet Alice (ASA) 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.

Relocating to New England, ASA is based in New England under Alice Sweet Alice’s own label: Cauldron Soundwerx. Teaming up with vocalist and keyboardist Ali Kat in the fall of 2007, Alice Sweet Alice’ first 7-song EP, Kikazaru, is scheduled to be released in January ’08 and will be available for sale on iTunes and Amazon.com.

Alice Sweet Alice’ music and lyrical content leans towards the macabre, though sometimes inwardly so, as some of the material can be interpreted as “lighthearted” and “witty”. Each track is a vignette of its’ own—a small story—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. The songs write themselves, and truly have their own personalities. It is up to us to discover them and pull them as carefully as we can from the ether.
