Artist description
All female dark power pop trio. "Fronted by two exotic towering beauties, Janna Jamesand Joan Sceline, Doppelganger (a German term for a murderous evil twin) has been laying waste to the LAmusic scene with their dark rock goth/pop. In the greattradition of other LA bands like X, Concrete Blonde, and 45 Grave,Doppelganger confronts the city and all its pleasures and vices withgloomy musicalperfection. KROQ's Jed the Fish made Modern Angel his catch of the day while moptoppedeternal teenager Rodney Bingenheimer (Rodney on the ROQ) put Doppelganger on his topfive specialty show list. Even Gene Simmons of Kiss is a big fan of Doppelgangerand he's not alone." - from Virtually Alternative, 2/99. |
