Short Bio:
With a namesake derived from '80s cult band The Sisters of Mercy, Shakespeare/Livy-penned poetic biography, and 16th c. Borgia legend, Boston's Lucretia's Daggers blends darkwave, synthpop, and futuristic metal with haunting female vocals in their "dark lyrical electro-rock for the apocalypse".
Since April 2008, Lucretia’s Daggers is lead guitarist Elucid (Jim Donahue), bassist Odetta Mo Excrucior (Melika M. Fitzhugh), drum/synth programmer Leon Rich, and the band’s founder and lyricist/vocalist Lucretia X. Machina (Lauri Murphy). LD’s full-length debut CD, Sad Flower Songs, was released February 2006.
