Album Notes

Among the Weeds first appeared in 2003 as the unofficial solo side- project of Rose, who was an already accomplished vocalist in a few bands. Even though she had covered a lot of musical territory in those projects, she always felt there was more to explore. What began as just a means to create without restraint would become something more; eventually. As any musician knows, there are many struggles in this lifestyle; and after so much frustration over not being able to technically execute the songs as they were meant to be, she decided to take a break from the project and music as a whole shortly thereafter.

Fast forward to late 2006 when Rose was introduced to Mike by a mutual friend; the then vocalist in Alaska Highway; a project that Mike began in England in 1996. Upon hearing some of her carefully crafted demos, Mike initially agreed to Engineer /Produce the Among the Weeds debut album, but it ended up quickly becoming a much more permanent arrangement. This new-found partnership included several performances together during Alaska Highway shows.

After working towards finishing the album as a duo with a heavy emphasis on the electronic edge, two close personal friends were invited to join the line-up to add a rougher, more organic feel to the songs by providing bass and guitar. Only one of these friends became a permanent member; Jovan has become a key element to the Among the Weeds sound, a strange creature that the band themselves have difficulty in defining as influences range from early 80s Electronic, Death Rock , Pop, and Metal through to Motown, Blues and most things in between.

As of summer 2009, the album 'Frail Tin Beauty' has been released, shows are scheduled and the follow-up album is already in the works.
