Satanic go-go dancers? Imprisoned guitarists? Cupcake throwing squatter punks? It’s all part of the legend that is Ophelia Rising, the band that refuses to let the system take them down.
Ophelia Rising began in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts after founding member, Lexa “Ophelia” Vonn was arrested in an anti-censorship protest defending the art of Geffen recording artists, White Zombie. Her case was fought by the ACLU in a court of law and ended in a dismissal that sent Lexa packing to Los Angeles to pursue a career in rock n’ roll. For the next two years Lexa found herself living on the streets with the homeless punk rock jet set, hitchhiking and taking odd jobs to support herself. She go-go danced for The Mentors, worked as a personal assistant to rapper, KRS-1 and toured as a “professional groupie” with bands across the country before she settled in Hollywood for good. While hanging out with the rich and infamous, Lexa devised a plan to start her own band for which she began recruiting members upon her return to Hollywood.
The band draws on influences from the worlds of rock, punk, metal, and goth. “Our sound is the Go-go’s meets Marilyn Manson and our imagery is Kenneth Anger meets Russ Meyer,” says Vonn. “We like to play on extremes. It’s the ridiculously shallow meets the ridiculously deep.” Their debut EP, entitled Step 1: Acknowledge You Are Part of The System, was produced by punk legend, Geza X and contains three original tracks as well as an industrial version of the 1960’s Lesley Gore hit, “You Don’t Own Me”. The band has also appeared on Dwell Record’s Marilyn Manson tribute, Anthems of Rust and Decay. After the band broke up in 2004 due to legal problems, founding members, singer Lexa Vonn and guitarist Satania have reformed and are currently working on writing material for their second release which will be an acoustic album focusing on versions of their old hits, covers and several new tracks. The duo are also looking to add new members and have recently been endorsed by Luna Guitars.

Someone learnt my password. I am a comment not sent. I am sad. The friend noticed it in the report. It troubled you. It changed it into a new password. I'm sorry.
How shall I hold on to my soul, so that it does not touch yours? How shall I lift it gently up over you on to other things? I would so very much like to tuck it away among long lost objects in the dark, in some quiet, unknown place, somewhere which remains motionless when your depths resound. And yet everything which touches us, you and me, takes us together like a single bow, drawing out from two strings but one voice. On which instrument are we strung? And which violinist holds us in his hand? O sweetest of songs. (Rainer Maria Rilke)
