Bio
DOLLS AND DAGGERS! PRESENTING ROCKS ODDEST ODDITY
If there was any piece of advice that has held true thru the years for Vincent Todd, it would be the advice his brother gave him upon hearing Vincents desire to become a musician; Appreciate and respect every form of music out there. And, thus it began.
Vincent and his mechanical mannequins, aptly named The Hard-Wired Pinups, started creating music that combined the likes of opera, rock, dance, punk, new wave, cabaret, and many, MANY, other forms.
I believe music is a form of art just as painting or cinema. And, if you limit your mediums, your pieces get very repetitive and terribly uninteresting.-Vincent Todd
The influences that come across are mainly in the Glam-Rock vein. There are flavors of Bowie, Queen, Blondie, Muse, Placebo, Andrew W.K., Prince, and even Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe. The music itself goes from full on Androgynoid Rock to lush Hurrellian Ballads to Punk/ Funk Dance. Thus taking Vincents quote of the bands sound being Operotic, to more of the tune of being Operratic. With songs spanning a whole gamut of genres and styles. So come gather round and feast your eyes on the seasons most sin-sational surprise!
