inferno of joy

Inferno of Joy was conceived a few years following the conflagration of San Francisco based Punk/ Rock n' Roll band Phoenix Thunderstone- comprised of Sean, Neither/Neither World's infamous Wendy Van Dusen, Hugh, Lemon DeGeorge, and ex- Dwarves Vadge Moore. Following a long search, Sean was able to locate Hugh in Majorca. E-mail correspondence followed. Shortly thereafter, Sean, accompanied by millionaire International Playboy, sound engineer, and spiritual adviser Lemon DeGeorge, arrived in Spain to rendezvous with Hugh. In early 2006- a new music vision was realized.

Despite having released 4 full-length records and 7"s with Phoenix Thunderstone (2 records released on Scratchie/Mercury, the last 2 records and a picture disc 7" on Hey Day Records, and 7" singles on Reptilian Records and Transparent Records), and armed with their experience touring extensively throughout the United States and Japan; a decision was made to sever ties with a record industry grown glaringly Jurassic, based on their work with a major label. This new collaboration would have no musical bounds.

Upon returning to the United States, Argentinean bassist Adrian was recruited from a latin burlesque troupe, and percussion powerhouse- Brian, was fortuitously thwarted in his imminent Arizona relocation to a life of meditation and misanthropic solitude. The new campaign has begun... there's a new VooDoo, determined to assassinate morality and all vestiges of bovine culture- an invitation to gaze unblinkingly into the depths of gods and men; the perfect ecstatic marriage of Heaven and Hell! the Inferno of Joy...
