"This company is a driving force to help empower women to rock," adds Tania. "If it weren't for Yvonne de Villiers and her vision to help create comfortable, quality instruments for women, I would not have the honor to play such a beautiful guitar. It feels like it was custom made for me."
"Everyone who sees these guitars falls in love with their imagery," Lexa notes. "I hold a lot of private musician jams at my Hollywood apartment, and the rocker boys have enjoyed playing them too."
Her bandmate adds, "Everyone who sees the guitar has the same reaction I did when I first laid eyes on it. They gasp and remark on the artwork. And when I play it, they comment on what a nice tone the guitar has. Even a non-musician can hear the quality!"
Although there is no official release date yet in sight, Lexa reveals that Ophelia Rising's forthcoming acoustic album is to be called "Gothika Acoustika" Along with covers of existing songs, Lexa says there'll be "some new stuff all done in a kind of evil Ani DiFranco punk folk rock way." Who could resist such a prospect?
"We are always looking to add more girls to the project," Lexa says. "I'd like Ophelia Rising to be a place where women can unite and collaborate." Check them out and contact them directly at their Myspace page -
