The Arrival Of Stoner Goth! Guilty By Design began originally in Ybor city florida. The project started with mostly programmed music primarily made with software synths, 80's keyboards and sequencers. The original songs were a homage to new wave & early dance sounds. The Band started to evolve into more of a traditional live show dropping a lot of the synths for textured guitar.
Members:
Steve Francois - Vocals, Keyboards, programing & guitar (The Basiqs, Psykill, Gross National Product, Project Haywire, Butterfly Messiah)
Danny Scott - Bass, programing (3oneG, NeverProject, DownStar)
Henry Wilson - Drums (House of Lighting, Dove, Floor, Cavity, Syrup)
Charles Purvis - Guitars, Programing, Mix and Mastering
As a group the band interprets the sequenced songs and translates them to a live setting.
The overall influences of the band as a whole, vary from: new wave,
goth and industrial + post punk and early alternative music.
