Vocal stylings ala Murphy/Bowie/Manson, the new band Life Love Misery looks to move you with songs via an Alt-Rock Trio + String Quartet.

After studying jazz music in college, Todd Tate made the switch to rock music by playing with a number of Bay Area bands in the late ‘90s. He later formed his own group, Life Love Misery, and rounded out the power trio’s lineup with drummer Kenny Stavropoulos (a former touring percussionist for Starship) and ex-Psychosis bassist Mario Previti. Life Love Misery also received some help from orchestrator Graham Pellettieri, who arranged string parts for the band’s first batch of songs, and the group released its self-titled studio debut.

A dancer 1st, DJ 2nd, and lyricist 3rd. As a little kid Michelle Q loved Disco and grew up watching Solid Gold, then loved Hip-Hop and dreamed of dancing on In Living Color or Soul Train. She wanted to be a Fly-girl or Laker-girl, but instead went on a journey to become a B-girl. She made her first dance mixes in high school using 2 tape-decks, then collected records, carried crates and turntables to gigs, and asked friends, "Where did you find that remix?".  After DJ'ing for Emcee's she started writing songs with them, and was shown how self expression can transcend from the turntables to the microphone.  

She gives ultimate respect to every element of Hip-Hop, the culture, its teachers, and its ability to unite. She searches for music that’s soulful, funky, hype, hard-hitting, bass-driven, thought-provoking or melodic. Her goal is to bridge people together with music, and most of all inspire them to dance.
