DESDEMONA ROSE, LEAD SINGER OF 'DEADSPACE WIVES', CRITICIZED FOR POLITICAL STATEMENTS
Singer sparks controversy online for political statements, fans of the band supportive

————————————————​

Desdemona Rose, lead singer and bassist for the Deadspace Wives, received backlash on Tuesday for her controversial political statements regarding the current government of Coruscant. While she was criticized online for these statements, fans and prominent members of her scene voice their support.

The 23-year-old, nor her bandmates, are no strangers to controversy though. Desdemona has been an active voice online on Switter and online forums, and her most recent statements were not the first nor the last ones to spark backlash online. Drummer Bella LaRue ran into trouble last year for criticizing Emryc Thorne, leading to an onslaught by the aforementioned leader's fan club which forced her to apologize for her statements after receiving death threats. Guitarist Raven Pierce has been arrested for civil unrest thirteen times and counting. Keyboardist Hecate is suspected of multiple accounts of arson.

The band itself, however, has seen considerable success and is well-received within its spheres of influence. Deadspace Wives got its start playing at punk and goth shows two years ago, fusing the music cultures into a sort of gothic punk rock. They eventually shifted away from the punk influences and settled more heavily into their goth ones. Their self-titled debut album charted at #3 on Coruscant's goth radio upon release, proving (to them, at least) that this was the right direction for the band.

DEADSPACE WIVES: THE WOMEN BEHIND THE MUSIC
A brief summary of the iconic four whose newest single"Money Makes Mothers Into Monsters" hit #1 on New Goth Radio this week​

———​

Desdemona Rose - Lead singer and bassist. Known for her dramatic eyeliner, teased pigtails, and massive boots, Desdemona first proposed starting a band with her three friends in a seedy bar on Level 2131 two years ago. A Coruscanti native, Desdemona was born on the upper levels of the ecumenopolis but was kicked out and disowned as a teenager for her rebellious political affiliations.

Bella LaRue - Drummer. Born to Iridonian immigrants, Bella was banging sticks on buckets since she was three years old. She was radicalized in her youth after joining up with a punk group at her school where she eventually met her long-time friend Raven.

Raven Pierce - Lead guitarist. Raven was introduced to Desdemona by Hecate and brought Bella along into the band with her. A longtime guitar player, by the time Deadspace Wives was formed, Raven had already played in three different bands (one punk, one metal, and one experimental rock group that wasn't too well received).

Hecate - Keyboardist and guitarist. Hecate went to the same GED program as Desdemona where the two bonded over their gothic interests and political ideologies. She invited her to hangout at a local goth club where the two would later meet Bella and Raven. After it was decided that the four of them would form a band, it was Hecate who suggested the name "Deadspace Wives."

FROM HOUSE TO HOME:
A Brief Biography
———​

Desdemona was born to second-generation immigrants, with her father from Mirial and her mother from Corellia. Though they were far from wealthy, money wasn't a stressor for them and both her parents were ambitious and hard workers. Her mother was a Czerka "wage-slave", and her father worked on the staff team of a politician.

Presumably sheltered and ignorant until her teen years, upon reaching high school, Desdemona began getting involved in both politics and various music scenes. She could often be found at protests and punk shows, clad entirely in black with her green skin painted stark white. According to some sources, Desdemona's parents tried "everything they could" to get their daughter under control, but the then-teen was eventually kicked out of her home and disowned after her political opinions online became a detriment to her parents' work.

With nowhere else to go, Desdemona couch-surfed at her friends' houses for a bit, trying to stay in school. Eventually, she was forced to drop out, unable to re-enroll without an address or parental guardians. Refusing to register with the state, Desdemona instead ventured deeper into the planet and found refuge in the goth and punk scenes of Level 2131. It was there that she met three other women who would eventually come together with her to form Deadspace Wives.
