On Saturday, June 2nd, the KEY CLUB will welcome Italy’s eminent goth metal band, LACUNA COIL, for one night of estrogen-laden rock on the Sunset Strip. Appearing as part of the Hottest Chick’s in Metal Tour 2007, Lacuna Coil and their esteemed lead singer, Cristina Scabbia, will finally turn the tables on their exclusively male counterparts. Doors will open at 7:00 PM and tickets are available through the Key Club box office and www.ticketmaster.com for $15 and $18 the day of the show.
Milan’s Lacuna Coil has risen to prominence since forming in 1997 by touring incessantly and releasing several heralded albums. Their most recent – 2006’s Karmacode (Century Media) – peaked at #28 on the Billboard charts and served as a continuation of the band’s unique aesthetic. Boasting soaring vocal melodies and prominent keyboard arrangements, Lacuna Coil has elevated the art form by merging goth imagery with metal instrumentation. And let us not forget about the band’s striking mouthpiece – Ms. Scabbia has amassed legions of fans with her “come hither” gaze and revealing photo shoots. But Cristina isn’t just another pretty face. In fact, her pitch-perfect singing has made fans out of her most vehement detractors.
And Scabbia needn’t feel alone on this tour – each of the other three bands currently feature women within their ranks. WITHIN TEMPTATION’S Sharon den Adel, KYLESA’S Laura Pleasants, and STOLEN BABIES’ Dominique Persi make this tour worthy of its bold moniker.
