THE BEAUTY

We are very happy to announce we will be hosting a UK exclusive release party for new SPECTRA PARIS album License To Kill. The album is currently flying high in DAC top 10 after their first album sold out.

Elena Alice Fossi, co-leader of Kirlian Camera, has given life to a brand new entity, SPECTRA*Paris, definitely replacing Siderartica. Elena, with a help from her all girl team and featuring guests Dope Stars Inc. & Punto Omega, comes out with her debut album “DEAD MODELS SOCIETY (Young Ladies Homicide Club)” on Trisol Music Group (1st edition late 2007 – 2nd edition early 2008). Classy noir-glam atmospheres, echoes of Kraftwerk/Roxy Music/Human League combined with FUTURISTIC powerful techno-rock strategies, roaring tech-guitars and erotic+murder nightmares, Hitchcock movies soundtracks meeting the ghost of Donnie Darko into a “chic” sequel to Blade Runner filmed in a ‘unexpected’ nocturnal Paris filled with obscure labyrinths… all this goes to get mixed up with those cynical funny COMICS Elena gave life to throughout last months… The multicoloured and merciless DEAD MODELS SOCIETY HUMANOIDS led by ELENA are finally… BORN!!!!!!!!!!!! Trisol SOLD-OUT album’s 1st edition (Digipak-CD limited to 3000 copies) on pre-sale, 1 month before official release date! First edition jewel-case out now!!! The band enters the british “Friend Vote Indie Top 100″ chart in October 2009 and, after a while, reaches the top position, keeping it on 3 weeks long. SPECTRA*paris are still appearing on such chart in February 2010!

2 July 2010 – NEWS FROM OUT OF LINE / UNIVERSAL!!! Epical cinematic Pop moments, sexy and electronic! On her second album, Elena Alice Fossi, better known as the singer of the Italian cult-group Kirlian Camera, promenades through Tinsel Town in high heels along with her all-girl band SPECTRA*paris. At the edge of Pop, Glam-Rock, Alternative and Electro, the alluring ladies are gonna spice up today’s music scene with great and fresh energy, inviting you to a glittering homage to the glamour of the big screen (to big screen’s glamourous and glittering homage). With her powerful, versatile and matchless voice, Elena Alice metamorphoses from innocent girl into grand diva to savage rock singer, gracefully moving through her short-movies with distinguished Pop-appeal, going to range from spy stories to horror flicks. “License To Kill” is released as a regular CD album containing a Warholesque punky bonus DVD and as a strictly limited fan-box containing a crystal vinyl version of the album, some exclusive gimmicks (big poster, 3 postcards, sticker, badge…) and a shaped-CD club membership card including an exclusive previously unreleased track. Cinematic Future Glam with a lot of bite!
