Other News


Raw Dog Screaming Press has released a new collection of Donna's poetry entitled 'Ladies and Other Vicious Creatures'. The book also includes a CD of spoken word performances and tracks from Ego Likeness and The Trinity Project.
The limited edition can be purchased here.

Donna's first book of poetry 'In My Mouth' is available at performances or by emailing the band directly.

This issue of Steampunk Magazine features a short story by Donna called 'Mining Medusa', as well as cover art and additional illustrations by Steven.

We are pleased to announce that Donna's novel 'Isabel Burning' (formerly mentioned under the working title 'The Good Mothers') will be released in the summer of 2008 by Raw Dog Screaming Press.

'Isabel Burning' is the first novel in a projected series that center on the unnerving history of a cursed family.

Much of the imagery from the book found its way into Ego Likeness song lyrics, especially those found on the album 'Water to the Dead', as well as other projects, including the illustrated book by Steven Archer and Donna Lynch 'Twenty-Six' (The excerpt from the letter G is taken directly from 'Isabel Burning').


Side Projects

Hopeful Machines material ranges from atmospheric soundscapes to underworld-esq dance tracks and sonic power noise. Heavily influenced by mid 70's electonica such as Tangerine Dream and Vangelis but with more contemporary beat structures. Full albums and more information can be found at
www.hopefulmachines.net

He is also involved with a project called Blind Till Now. BTN is the brain child of Seth Polansky, best known for his work with DC's Pariah Dogs. BTN's unique combination of melody and powernoise covers a much wider range of emotions than one would expect from the genre. More information and music can be found on the
Blind Till Now MySpace page.
Their first album 'Swarm' is available now.


Please stop by the Ego Likeness Live Journal for the latest info and inane commentary directly from the band.

The band also has the obligitory MySpace account. It's located here
