Bio

Lauren Krothe's powerful and unique songs, which she describes as "classically inspired gypsy ballads," have begun turning heads throughout the underground music community. Her piano-driven sound and fearless delivery are reminiscent of such cutting edge performers as Kate Bush, Amanda Palmer and (1990s-era) Tori Amos. Lend her your ear for just a moment and you'll find you've fallen under her spell.

She may be considered one of Alabama’s best kept secrets, but Lauren has already started making waves in the local music scene. She has headlined the Bama Theatre’s Acoustic Night series on numerous occasions, was nominated for a Birmingham Area Music Award (BAMA) in the singer/songwriter division in 2008 and was favored with performances at the 2010 and 2011 Birmingham Arts and Music Festivals.  Her albums include tortured love songs (1998), the soul orbit EP (2000), this i know (2006),  have yourself a merry little christmas (2008) and i'm not afraid of the dark (2009).

Also a member of internationally renowned industrial rock group Panzer AG (side project of Combichrist and Icon of Coil frontman Andy LaPlegua), Lauren’s backing vocals are featured on several tracks of their latest Metropolis Records release, Your World Is Burning, as well as the track “Gateway” on the Accession Records Vol. 3 compilation. She provides live keyboards and backing vocals and has headlined shows with Panzer AG in Atlanta, Nashville, New York City, Edinburgh, London, Köln and the 2010 Gothic Cruise.
