What do you think of the Female Artist of the Day [61]?

ARTIST: Chibi

- 4 studio albums with The Birthday Massacre

- 1 live album with The Birthday Massacre

GENRE: Synthpop/rock

FACTOIDS:

- They're from Canada.

- Nobody really knows what Chibi's real name is. She's kept it a secret for over 10 years I guess.

HOW I FOUND THEM: Heh, they were one of the first bands introduced by Rock&Pop to me at the time.

ALBUM I RECOMMEND FIRST: I'd say start with the first 'Nothing and Nowhere', although my personal favorite is their newest.

Feel free to listen to all three, or pick the one that looks best! Whatcha think?

"Pale" from 'Pins and Needles' (2010)

    Hi Vicky

    if it matters I apologize for my absences on these Qs. but I have a 20 year old niece that's a mess right now and I am trying to help her wow does she have me confused. anyway family crisis issue I am just having a tough time trying to get through to her. long story. plus I have been taking a little break from the troll activity that's been going on here another long story.

    now lets get to the music. all the songs are somewhat similar and in my opinion this band is some sub-gothic culture hybrid. they are not authentic gothic music and culture but definitely some kind of hybrid. BUT I do like how they attempt to throw the light metal elements in the ethereal synthpop thing. Chibi sounds okay she doesn't have really any significant technique to her voice but she gets the job done. and I would rather listen to Chibi than Queen Egotist herself Amy Lee. who is another female hybrid of the goth culture that is also not authentic. thanks for posting hon and I hope you are having good holidays.
