The Break Up – Synthesis
Biography
There is more than one artist with this name:
1) “Retro electro with a hearty helping of dark pop songs full of grit and attitude.” -Regen Magazine
Somewhere around the millennium shift… it was a night that lasted into the wee hours of the morning (or did it last for days?) filled with much debauchery, intoxication, insomnia and inspiration that brought on “Casio Confessions”, the first jam sessions of Shane Allen Hall and Severina Sol. It was a match made in, well… under the stormy skies of the great northwest! At the time, Shane was a digital hardcore DJ in the underground Seattle party scene while Severina was a bleeding siren of song for the likes of Fockewolf and Diva Destruction. Meanwhile, somewhere on the other side of the continent Eric James Peterson was striking sticks, tricks and time collaborating with Thomas Thorn in the original line-up of The Electric Hellfire Club.
Those first seeds would take time to grow into the beautiful birth of The Break Up, and so our musical heroes in the middle years ventured individually, creating, performing and evolving in cities such as New York and Los Angeles. Shane developed the New York nightlife personality “Club Kid” character Blix Krieg and later traded in the stacks for stiletto heels to become Terra Hymen; Seattle’s nightlife shock drag queen celebrity.
