LIPSHOK is an original gothic hard rock/symphonic metal act out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Highly unique, Scarlett, the female lead vocalist/songwriter/keyboardist performs keyboards and vocals from the center of the stage live and leads the band with haunting melodies and incredible songs with commercial hooks and mesmerizing compositions. With dynamic chord changes and fantastic harmonies, LIPSHOK is a band that lets your soul travel to another reality, alternate dimensions, and magical realms. Along with Scarlett Dark is Phil Jameson on bass, Massimilano Maggiari on guitar, and Joe Londeree on drums, and on the newest CD “To Haunt a Quiet Realm” the guitar parts are played by Glen Avelais, who toured and played with Forbidden and Testament. LIPSHOK is experienced, professional, with a varied background. For many years, LIPSHOK was a corporate dance/party band and even played at Santa Rita Jail 13 times as well as the Dublin Federal Penn twice! Needless to say, everyone loves a captive audience! Then in 2009, they returned the original scene, released a CD in 2010, "In Darkness, Light", and then another CD at the end of 2013 "The Soul of a Broken Mind". The next newest CD “To Haunt a Quiet Realm” was released 10/31/16 to rave reviews. New CD “Shadows of a Dark Heart” out now. Here are some links for information.
