About Drowning Susan: Drowning Susan is largely the auditory musings of Buffalo, NY native Mark Gerster in collaboration with various other artists. Established in 2000, Drowning Susan rose from the ashes of Gerster’s previous industrial pop project, Blackforestgreen, with William Chudy. Drowning Susan released three demo CD singles through 2001(And Now You’re Out, Self-Prescribed, and Anthill ) which appeared in limited runs locally in Buffalo and Syracuse. Working with a number of collaborators through 2001 and 2002, Drowning Susan slowly started to find its own sound and in December of 2002, released their first full length album, Effected Little Change. Though the record sold poorly throughout the next year, it had an additional 1000 copies distributed for promotion in Buffalo, Toronto, New York, and Amsterdam in 2003 . Further internet distribution and a trickle of word of mouth widened our tiny fan base to places like Belgium, Germany, Tokyo and the American Southwest while slowly some tracks have made their way to internet radio station playlists throughout the worldwide web. Oddly, this has album sold better in Japan than anywhere else. Whatever. The follow-up EP, Change (Puppy Covers and Remixes) was available as a limited run of 200 copies in Buffalo late in 2003. The EP was the combination of remixes of tracks from the first album and some Skinny Puppy covers originally recorded for a now dead Litany.net Skinny Puppy tribute project. Interest in Drowning Susan gained a little traction on the local front as college radio began to play tracks from both releases and Gerster appeared for an hour long interview on local radio favorite WBNY. Also in late 2003, Drowning Susan was approached to do the soundtrack and score to an independent horror/suspense movie, The Raven by SirReel Films, based loosely on Edgar Allen Poe’s short story of the same name. Working through early 2004, Gerster concentrated on efforts to complete the soundtrack and nearly reached completion when unfortunately the project unraveled and the film never saw the light of day. To the best of our knowledge, only the first 45 minutes of the film ever had the audio and video married together in a somewhat suitable format. Some of the music that resulted eventually was posted online under the Drowning Susan moniker. This taste of the soundtrack mindset and the unspoiled sound archives created for the film evolved Drowning Susan’s work into a decidedly more produced sound with an emphasis on creating an even darker audio and visual mood. Though plans for release of a second full length album fell apart in 2006, a large volume of work was produced for the project, some of which will likely find its way into a released collection someday soon. 2008 sees the band recording demos for an anticipated release entitled “Explode Your Life” 2008 RECORDING COLLABORATORS so far include: Vincent Sparacino, Jilil Secret and Gabrielle Medina Previous recording contributors include William Chudy, Brian Bray, Joseph Kester, Joe Dipasquale, Tony Tenorwicz, Dave Ahrens and Heidi Casillas LIVE SHOW: MARK GERSTER on vox and synth, MICHAEL GERSTER on drums, WILLIAM CHUDY on synth, samples and backing vox, JOSEPH KESTER on guitar and backing vox Self Described Genre: Dark Electro Pop - Industrial - Dark Pop - Electronic Drowning Susan is musical oddity…exploring audio horizons and styles without real boundary and influenced in whole by the world around us and the media we're force fed….it’s everything you’ve heard before yet flipped upside down and backwards…it is dark, it is moody, it’s angry and sad, it’s everything beautiful and ugly all at once…..it’s an animal pacing in its cage, waiting to pounce….it’s noise wrestled into some sort of order...sometimes it's even music.
