WhipKraft is the San Francisco Bay Areašs most visual Goth Core metal. Driven by gut pounding yet primal drumbeats and fronted by dominatrix Vega Li along with her riveting dark wave vocals. WhipKraft is an All-Star band consisting of some of the hottest players in the bay area music scene today. Including members of Gwar, The Lord Weird Slough Feg, and Hammers of Misfortune. Seasoned musicians joined together with Vega Lišs searing lyrics and dramatic stage presence to create chilling sounds and intensity with a subconscious super sexual drive -- a pleasing and frightful nightmare. With theatrical, campy, and interactive stage show elements. An intense combination hacking to the bottom of the spinal cord while grounding and ungrounding the audience with every song.
Mistress Vega has been quite the center of media publicity these days. Silicon Valley Metro, a major San Jose publication has featured Vega as the cover story as an emerging performance artist, as well as Oaklandšs Urbanview. Vega is not just a performance artist but an active filmmaker, poet, activist, and writer. Her new film will be due to release in late fall as well as her new book.
The band melds several disciplines and art forms performance art, fashion, theater, poetic lyricism and Music. The sound can be array of slow and dark to loud and intense sometimes evolving to a racy and scary atmosphere, which stir an audience into bewilderment, transcendence, and release.
Vega Lišs performances have packed various clubs throughout the West Coast scene, from the The Dragonfly, Hollywoodšs hottest rock club to Bar Sinister in LA, as well as San Franciscošs Cat Club as well as playing with other types of bands such as Tribe 8.
