Solemn Novena

Gothic rockers Solemn Novena formed in early 2006, with a mission of creating guitar orientated Gothic Rock, no techno bleepy influences or metal posturing for these guys, oh no. This had to be straight down the middle goth, just like the 90’s had never happened. Or this century either. Sick of going to ‘gothic’ nightclubs and spending the nights looking moody in the corners, secretly wishing they’d play 'Serpent’s Kiss' (so they could display the light bulb changing and apple picking dance moves...

The Snake Corps

The Snake Corps came together in 1984 following the break-up of Sad Lovers & Giants (SL&G) the previous year.
Aiming for a harder-edged sound, core members Tristan Garel-Funk and Nigel Pollard advertised in the Melody Maker for the necessary musicians. After many auditions they settled on Marc Lewis and Liam McGuinness on vocals and bass respectively. This original incarnation set about establishing its own sound - recording demos of songs later to appear on the band

THE EDEN HOUSE

The Eden House is a collaborative project. Work on the project started in 2004 and has continued sporadically since. There are a core group of regular contributors with other guests providing one-off contributions. The Eden House isn't a band as such and will remain primarily studio based.
We will regularly post new songs/mixes as we create them. If there is enough interest we will compile the result for CD release. The project isn't about making money nor do we want to string people along waiting for a release that may never happen. The Eden House is purely about the music.
