I was in the front row to see you at FaerieCon on Friday. You've got an incredible voice and were a pleasure to talk with before and after the show. I hope to be able to see you perform again someday. :)
@mirroredhour that's lovely, thank you so much for telling me! I just played at FaerieCon West where there was some lively discussion about the connection between steampunk and Faerie. :)
@unwoman Steampunk and faeries are some of my favorite topics. <3 I love the song you sung (Cruelty) by the way--and this one too, of course. Was Cruelty created for Darkest Mercy?
@mirroredhour no, I wrote those not having read the books and Melissa Marr discovered Cruelty and Secretly and felt they resonated perfectly with the story! It's kind of amazing how things line up like that sometimes.
@unwoman Yes, exactly! Cruelty reminded me so much of how Donia thinks of Keenan. I'm sorry--I'm sure you're a woman with a lot of things to do, but lastly I just want to know: Have you read the series? If so, who is/are your favorite character(s) and why?
Took my girls to see you, VP, and AP at the Cthulhu Ball last year. Whenever I play this song, my little one (4 at the time, she's 5 now) gets really happy and says, "That's my friend!" That was such a great show, it was wonderful seeing you play your cello for all the acts.
Dear Ms. Unwoman, I was just kidding about the "Will you marry me?" thing(Although, conceptually, I still think it's a good idea). I would like to know If I could get your permission to show your vid before/behind/above me at my next poetry reading. I write for a mrktng. company by day and I'm a writer (or, poet/performance artist) at night. I won't be making any money at this reading (it's just open-mic), so I WOULDN'T be taking advantage of you. It's sched. for Nov. 12th. Your thoughts?
@unwoman Thank You. I left you a "note" on your FB page/wall/whatever asking if you've ever performed in Chicago. I think you'de find an appreciative audience here. There is a rock/folk/cajun/alternative club in Berwyn, IL called "Fitzgerald's" that would be a PERFECT venue for you.
@unwoman Certainly not. However, you are, without a doubt, the most talented cellatrix it has been my pleasure to come across in the last, oh, thousand years. Will you marry me?
Her facial expressions and body movements remind me a lot of Melora Creager (or vice-versa?)..she toured with her, right? Don't get me wrong, I adore both and it's interesting to see things like that rub off on others.
@GilliLee I think there are some expressions that just happen when anyone plays cello and sings. Not denying that Rasputina was a HUGE influence of course! :) (I toured with them really briefly.)
@unwoman I saw you at Steamcon! I was the girl that you signed my "Casualties" album, I saw you at the lounge and the Nautilus concert and the tea-party, idk if you remember me, you are really pretty in real life!!
I just found here today on Free Music Archives and was instantly addicted! Great voice and great music. There isn't anything else that sounds like her; she's different enough to be interesting but not so different she's not listenable.
Met you at Steamcon last year and fell in love with your voice and music! I am constantly running around with this song stuck in my head haha. Love the video too :)
I recall watching you preform this particular piece at the gaslight gathering and...it took my breath away to say the least. I really love your work, your songs, lyrics, everything! You are extremely talented and because I was unable to buy your album on the spot then, I ended up making up for it tenfold on Itunes. My Ipod is now overflowing with your music -w-
I'll be sure to mention you to all my friends and stalk you till the end. I hope you don't mind me featuring you on my Journal?
Just discovered it with the help of iTunes..really. Anyway, just love it. Now I know it's not a good thing to categorize things, but I'm just curious is this a type of steam punk or is it dance? Or a type of pop music. I'm just curious.
@unwoman Honestly I think this song is more Steampunk than a lot of music that tries to be Steampunk. It's the instrumentation that really nails it for me, and the rhythm which has a very machine like quality.
awesome video! I like the acoustic version better then the studio tho. i do music myself - you should check out my channel. Its very dark and heavy but u may like it.
Awesome video, loved you music at Wicked. You have an amazing voice.

Unwoman is the female reincarnation of Ernie Kovacs. I get a definite "Nairobi Trio" feel outta this.
