Alexis Dziena/The Ballet/Gideon the Cutpurse
Alexis Dziena
Alexis Dziena is the doe eyed starlet from ‘all tease no release’ melodrama Invasion (think Lost meets X files) With the kind of eyes that make her look like a manga caricature and the sultry poise of a girl who knows exactly how she comes across, it was no surprise then that she played Lolita in the Film Broken Flowers, in which she appeared completely naked in front of Bill Murray’s character. In addition to acting, Alexis is a budding playwright and drummer. Apparently.
Invasion, in which she plays Kira underlay, has been axed due to failing ratings, this however hasn’t stopped thousands of fans from harassing ABC into bringing it back, there is an online petition and a ‘Save invasion’ website, plus they even hired a plane to fly a ‘bring back invasion’ banner over the TV networks headquarters.
I liked invasion, but then I’m the one person in Britain still watching Lost. Pity me.
The Ballet
The Ballet are wonderful. Buy everything by them.
You need more info than that? Oh ok…I stumbled upon them last night when I heard ‘ Murder at the Disco’ one of their demos, it quite literally blew me away. It sounds like the Magnetic Fields for a new generation, lyrically beautiful and delivered with the same achingly charming under produced sound. The Ballet, a five-piece from NYC, describe themselves as ‘a sissy pop band’, check out their MySpace site here
Prepare your ears for the delight that is the song below for they may actually climb down off the side of your head and shake you by the hand.
MP3: The Ballet - In My Head
Linda Buckley-Archer - Gideon the Cutpurse
Two twelve year olds, Kate and Peter are hurtled back in time by a NASA anti gravity machine and end up in 1763. A mysterious character know only as the Tar Man steals their only means of returning to the 21st century. Gideon the cutpurse is their own solace in the 18 century underworld as they hunt for the machine in one time zone and are hunted by the police in another.
This, the first in a trilogy, matches good science and acurate history with expert storytelling.
