"Scarlet Room"
"Scarlet Room"
Scarlet Room is where rock music and cabaret meet. It's where the theatrical storylines of Eloise Govedare's lyrics intertwine with the provocative melodies of Aleksandra Weil to create something both sweet and twisted.
The seeds of Scarlet Room were planted when Aleksandra and Eloise met in high school. Both classically trained pianists, Eloise eventually took to the drums while Aleksandra brought her voice to the microphone. After a few years of writing music together, the girls were joined by bassist/guitar player Kris Darr and guitar player Timothy Keller, and the Scarlet Room sound became complete.
The band took a turn in early 2006 when Aleksandra and Eloise embraced their love for musical theater, turning Scarlet Room from a heavy rock band into what they have coined as "a cabaret rock musical". They have created a sound that is wholly unique, like the soundtrack to a dark circus, a sound that whirls around the listener and murmurs exciting promises in their ears. Scarlet Room urges their audience to step out of their comfort zone and embrace the beauty of chaos.
