Standalone is Steven Seibold. The synthesizer driven new-wave solo project featuring a collection of vintage synthesizers, live drums, tools, handmade metal crashers, shakers and a toy piano helped re-invent this artist well known for punk styling . Borrowing from 80’s and 90’s alternative pop… Standalone sounds intentionally outside the box. Having founded the post-industrial band Hate Dept., and holding a strong presence in the famed industrial-rock group Pigface, Seibold is versed in frenetic and unusual performances. The debut self-titled album sounds purposely raw and organic, as if it were performed live in our ears. Onstage, the show is either a solo act with an assortment of clanking steel and electronic keyboard accompaniment, or a duo with Ivan Kazak on drums. Standalone music is dense with emotion and brimming with secret messages for the hearts.
