Biography
Hailing from Maryland, Cassandra Syndrome is Irene Jericho on vocals, Chris Kackley on guitar, Joe Cariola on bass, Katie Doherty on rhythm guitar and backing vocals and Jay Jericho on drums. This passionate, engaging act strikes the perfect balance between playful and sinister. Cassandra Syndrome is an intimate theater of darkness and seduction.
Cassandra Syndrome's music hits home in more ways than one. Sharing a background defending their country, their concern about the government's direction and disregard for its citizens fueled the process behind their debut album, 'Of Patriots and Tyrants,' released in February of 2009 on Figmental Records. The politically charged and socially conscious tone is Cassandra Syndrome's homage to their namesake. Cassandra, the famed seeress who foresaw the fall of Troy, was cursed by the God Apollo so that no one would believe her cautionary visions. To have Cassandra Syndrome is to share Cassandra's fate—to see a dark future yet be unable to convince others of the truth.
The band is currently touring to support their album. Past performances include The Depot in Baltimore, MD, The Brass Monkey Saloon, Baltimore, MD, Cookies, Martinburg, WV, The Asylum, Washington, DC, The College Perk, College Park, MD, DC Society of Art Rock, Bethesda, MD, DC Midnight, Washington, DC and many more. Cassandra Syndrome has also been featured in festivals at Battery Park, NY, Winchester, VA, North Andover, MA, College Park, MD and Richmond, VA.
Cassandra Syndrome has a mailing list, a livejournal community, a Facebook page and a MySpace page. All are updated regularly--stay connected to the world of CS with any of them.
