SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
LIPSHOK is an original gothic rock/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 melodic vocals and incredible songs with commercial hooks and mesmerizing compositions. Dynamic chord changes and with fantastic harmonies, LIPSHOK is a band that lets your soul travel to another reality, alternate dimensions, and magical realms. With a new CD, "The Soul of a Broken Mind" just out, and a new video to the number 1 track, "Path of Stone", LIPSHOK is on the way to success. Along with Scarlett Dark is Phil Jameson on bass.
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 now another CD at the end of 2013, "The Soul of a Broken Mind". The music is available on itunes, amazon, CD Baby, etc. And the CD "To Haunt a Quiet Realm" is out and features Glen Avelais (Forbidden, Testament, HateFX) playing all the guitar parts. And here is a lyric video from that CD : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctzIvfTREHQ
Lipshok is now signed with Sliptrick Records for European distribution.
New CD "Shadows of a Dark Heart" released 2021.
New single "They Burned It Down" released in 2023.
