Rome (ITA)
Paolo Miceli (formerly ruth veln kiss) from Rome (ITA), and Christy Brewster (formerly Kizzy) from Edinburgh (UK), together known as My Violent Ego met in ‘o1 at mp3.com (before big sell) and have been making music together for years without ever meeting, sending music files through internet and classic mail, compiling enough songs for releases as Lìtost ep (2001), Feel Yr Sleep (2001), and their first label release Carried-Along-By-Fate (2003), also featured at Projekt rec and Tonevendor.
Then they finally met in rome for a couple of shows and radio showcases, and again in 2004 for a brief promotional tour in italy.
The following summer they flight to france for the recording sessions of Clicks & Hisses (original home recordings demos available at myviolentego.com), but problems with the label, the recordings mediocrity, and new intolerances between the two, brought to split in late 2004, even if currently still in sporadic touch, since 2006 and exchanging music files without any deadline.
In late 2006 Paolo joined Sea Dweller (last.fm Sea Dweller), one of rare shoegaze dreampop band over the italian indie scenery.
Christy joined in 2007 her sister Kaye Brewster in Violet’s Revenge
