Paolo Miceli (formerly ruth veln kiss) from Rome (ITA), and Christy Brewster (formerly Kizzy) from Edinburgh (UK), together known as My Violent Ego met in 2001 on mp3.com and have been making music together for years without ever meeting, sending music files through internet and classic mail, compiling songs for the self-produced releases Lìtost ep (2001), Feel Yr Sleep (2001), and their first label release Carried-Along-By-Fate (2003), distributed by Projekt rec and Tonevendor rec.
Finally met in Rome in 2003 for a couple of shows and radio showcases (backing guitar on stage by Gianmarco Cannella), and again in 2004 (backing guitar on stage and priceless friendship by Georgeos Karaktsanis) for a brief promotional tour for Carried along.. in Italy, the following summer they flight to France for the recording sessions of Clicks & Hisses, but problems with the record label, the recordings' mediocrity, and new intolerances between the two, brought to split in late 2004 until July 2009, again making new music together, and currently recording new melodies for a forth-coming release, due hopefully to Spring 2010.

17th agoust 'o6 - i don't know if it's a joke, or if for real someone downloaded Clicks & Hisses from internet and was ready to sell it through an unconvincing record label, or to be shared through emule, attributing the whole release to a black metal (!!) band called velvet cacoon.. it's kind of funny as well sad. what can i say more? - Anyway, You can read all details here and here.
