Miami New Times write up by Erica Landau on our recent shoot with Francesco LoCastro

Photos: Hot Kill Miss Pretty Shots by Francesco LoCastro

Categories: Local Music

Local artist Francesco LoCastro recently held a photo shoot with Boynton electro raunch-pop act Kill Miss Pretty. Broken up into three parts, with a fourth coming in a week or so, each set of photos is equal parts titillation, art, and theatrics, featuring the trio in masks, industrial garb, and steamy lead singer Alicia Olink in various poses that, well, highlight her smokin' bod. (In one photo, while lying on the floor, she dons a wife beater with "Fuck It" etched in marker across the chest.)

The only recurring theme throughout the different sets is that they incorporate a killing, obviously a reference to the band's name. The members provided all the props for the shoot, according to Olink, but it was all LoCastro's vision. Some more photos are after the jump. To see the album, visit KMP's Facebook page here. 

The band performs at Exxxotica in Miami this weekend, and will be holding down booth 936 at the porn fest Friday and Sunday.

UK's CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE pick JUDY GARLAND as "track of the day"!!!

Track Of The Day: Kill Miss Pretty

mdome / News / 09/04/2010 10:06am

A founding member of Marilyn Manson’s band has teamed with Florida electro-rockers Kill Miss Pretty – and they’re giving you lot a free song. So welcome to the latest Track Of The Day. Check out all recent Tracks Of The Day. 

The Mazza man is Daisy Berkowitz, aka Scott Putesky, who was the original guitarist with MM’s band. He’s now a fully fledged member of KMP, who describe their sound as ‘blending rock, electronics, synthesis, sex, groove and FUN into an over-the-top feast for the senses’.

He joins vocalist Alicia ‘The Flexible’ (the mind boggles!), guitarist/synth player/programmer Russ and bassist Martin in a line-up that’s working on a new album, set for release in the summer. It’s the follow up to 2008’s Permission For Strange, which is as oddball as that title might suggest. Thankfully.

Now you may download the song Judy Garland, their first collaboration with Berkowitz/Putesky, for free at www.killmisspretty.com/default.asp?page=music.

You have to sign up, but once that’s done there are other, older tracks available for nothing, including the whole of Permission For Strange.

Marilyn Manson's Daisy Berkowitz joins forces with KILL MISS PRETTY for new album

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Marilyn Manson's Daisy Berkowitz joins forces with KILL MISS PRETTY for new album


Fort Lauderdale, FL - March 22, 2010 - Marilyn Manson co-founder and original guitarist Scott Putesky (SMP), aka Daisy Berkowitz, has teamed up with Florida's electro-punk darlings Kill Miss Pretty (KMP) to write and record a new album for release this summer.

The new CD will include their recently released single collaboration JUDY GARLAND, as well as new KMP tunes and a remake of the early Marilyn Manson & Spooky Kids classic "She's not My Girlfriend".

The union seems a match made in heaven/hell as Kill Miss Pretty has been attracting attention from the press not only for its songwriting, but theatrical performances as well. KMP has in the last year garnered awards for Best Female Vocalist and Best Rock Band in local publications, and now with the addition of SMP, their continued rise seems inevitable.


On February 20th in Ft. Lauderdale, for the single release party for Judy Garland, SMP joined KMP onstage for 3 songs including Judy Garland, Manson's Dogma, and a freaked out version of Nirvana's Negative Creep. This proved the impetus as KMP and SMP began rehearsing and writing immediately thereafter. The first full show featuring the KMP/SMP  lineup will take place April 23rd at Will's Pub in Orlando, FL, and will be the live premier of the "She's Not My Girlfriend" remake. Opening the show will be rock veterans Rock City Angels, and Vascular Symphony.


Says Putesky, "This is the kind of thing early Manson/Spooky Kids fans can really enjoy. KMP have established themselves as a fresh musical voice and visual delight very much in the spirit of The Spooky Kids. I'm happy to be having fun and working with creative, open, and like-minded performers. Russ, Alicia and Martin and I go way back - like 8 tracks. Plus they're freaks in their own right."
