Scorpio Rising is an electro/dance/rock band from Austin, Texas, whose recordings and intense live performances have made them one of Austin’s premiere entertainment commodities.

Hailed as one of Austin’s best Goth/Industrial bands and DJ bands by the Austin Chronicle Music Poll, Scorpio Rising’s fans have likened their sound to The Rolling Stones meet Scissor Sisters, with vocals reminiscent of Cyndi Lauper, Shirley Manson, and Madonna, polished with a touch of Motown.

Scorpio Rising started in the mid 1990’s as a side project of Austin Funk outfit Retarted Elf’s vocalist/dancer Madame Scorpio and guitarist Wonderbred. The two had compiled a huge catalogue of new material and wanted to take it to the stage.

Scorpio Rising has built a diverse and loyal fan base throughout Texas, playing consistently in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Belton, Dallas, Bryan/College Station and Corpus Christi. Festival appearances include the Central Texas State Fair, SXSW showcase and Eeyores birthday party.

Scorpio Rising’s debut recording, Scorpio Tales was written, recorded and produced by Wonderbred and Madame Scorpio. Their sophomore effort, Vain Bastard was a full band effort and included songs “Get It Up” and “Eerie,” which have both enjoyed publishing success and can be heard on The Discovery Network, a compilation CD release from the WB network, clothing ads, and video game song distribution. The band’s latest release, Feels Good was released in July 2008 to rave reviews by fans and critics alike.

Scorpio Rising’s current line-up includes Dianne Whitehair (AKA Madame Scorpio) on vocals, Stephen P. Larsen (AKA Wonderbred) on bass and Wiley Koepp (AKA D.J. Bixler) on drums. This incarnation has been performing, touring and recording together for the past three years.
