Short info:
shemale
ZERO is a one-man genderfuck music and art project, influenced by
the 70s and the early 80s fashion and lifestyle spent through the
perverted synthetic prism of Ottis, whos responsible for
the vocals, the lyrics, pianos, the arrangement, the recordings
and the appearance.
The project is a puzzle of different subject matters, problems,
affinities and directions during the 70-80ies years, but qoted
out of their time context, they cofigure a new whole issue,
orientated to the future of a more tolerant world. The music is a
game between underground styles like psychobilly, darkpunk,
deathrock, dark cabaret and minimal sweetened with some gay pop
and transvestism.
Full Biography:
Part I ( 2002-2007 ) myspace.com/shemalezero
The
story of the one-man project shemale ZERO began
in 2002, as Ottis, innervated by his two new passions -
gothic-industrial and cross-dressing, came to the inspiration to
record some new songs. That, what approximately started as teeny
game, entertainment and boredom killer, manifested on the end as
a not bad plausible product. After his long fluctuations between
grind, death metal and punk, participation on different bands and
projects, Ottis slowly started to find out his own destination.
He summoned other musicians from various music styles and
experimented around. Today he describes his eccentric style as TI
- Transgendered Industrial, which incorporates dark electro and
industrial elements. The vocals range from typical industrial
with slide influence of deathrock to true death and black metal.
Since 2005 shemale ZERO has been frequently seen
on stage, and at the beginning of the year they established
themselves on the invitation of the show Mega Hour on BBC. For
the concert behind the bass takes place Shentov, known by the
post punk band KPD-O. In October same year they gratified the
publics on the National Tattoo Fest in Hristo Botev
hall, Sofia.
Soon afterwards Ottis emerged on the stage in the attendance of
drummer Dan-X aka Daniel Goranov (metal and hardcore drummer),
from one of his ancient bands, and Vicky aka Viktoria Andreeva,
who takes over the guitar. With her steadfastness and constancy
she gives a new facet to the project.
June 2006 the trio constellation wins the award of Stain studio
and club Stroeja with its great appearance on the R.S. in Sliven
and they record their first single "Funeral Whore"
officially popular as Werewolf. Soon after the
record the song acquired the possession of two remixes by their
industrial fellows Animassacre and the Californian adjudged
8bit-punk band Electric Dragon. Hereafter Stroeja produces also
the video to the debut single. Director of the video is Boian
Karamfilov (from the band Kuln), and the cameramen is
Georgi Raev (from the official Bulgarian music television MM TV).
For the outfits takes care the fashion designer duo Kristina and
Konstantin, famous with their work on unique suits for many of
the greatest stars on the commercial music scene in Bulgaria. At
the beginning of 2007 Ottis together with Simona (punk-hardcore
vocalist in one of his previous bands) records the song
Fetish Nation supervised by the hawk eye of Sparks
Rojas from Electric Dragon. Fetish Nation
is also the last industrial track, which the project works on.
February 2007 they warm up the audience together with Animassacre
for the concert of their grecian cohorts Siva Six and attracted
the attention not only with their musical creativity but also
with an unique and immaculate performance, charisma and pinpoint
chosen styling. In June was the their last concert, when they
played together with Alien Industry.
In September Ottis records and assembles the second official
music video "Deliverance From Hypocrisy". The
track is hard and fast, completely electronic industrial on
military themes. The video never broadcasts on any TV or show
because of the apparently contained Nazi symbols and elements.
Shortly afterwards he discontinues the song writing for the band.

Part II ( 2008-future ) myspace.com/shemalezeroNEW
Since
the end of 2007 after the detachment of the longstanding female
guitarist Vicky, the project alters the course of development and
becomes 100% synthetic.
Crushing his own style limits, Ottis integrates in his new tracks
shades of psychobilly, punk and the gay pop scene up to the
cabaret and the experimental.
In December same year the first five tracks have been promulgated
in the promo "Androgyne Cyberqueen" accessible for free
download.
In March 2008 for the worlds women day, which is pretty
communistic at least for the perception in Bulgaria, on the
bands profile manifests the song Mother (the original of
this cover is made by the actor Mr.T from the A-Team). The track
was recorded and mixed only for some hours and is not entitled to
be unique, its only purpose is to show his respect for the
womanliness.
April 2008 again on the myspace profile appears the first track
with a guest musician, namely Dorothy from the voodoo-rockers
PUCKS. Rear-rangement is a gallivanting
Nintendo punk.
