Betty Curse

Have you ever seen the film 28 Days Later? You HAVE? Well then you'll already know Betty Curse for her teenage lead role in it. Yep, that's right, Betty Curse is really just actress Megan Burns' solo musical project. People are calling it "goth-pop". As if you needed any more proof of the riduculousness of this venture, here's a quote from Betty herself:

"I like dressing up. I like drinking wine. I enjoy loneliness. I like romance. I like being in control. I like being submissive. I like reading poetry aloud. I like absinth. I like Parisian prostitutes from the early 1900s, true ladies. I like tattoos. I'd like Nick Cave to sing to me as I bled to death. I like making up stories. I like to lie, it makes life more interesting. I kill people and sell the bodies. I'm in a band, but then who isn't?".

Er.. right on, sister.

Not content with being a total nutter AND having no real ability to write her own songs, she had a lot of help from Eugene Kelly, Davey from the Crimea and Andy Huxley from the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster. God knows how the album will turn out.
