 The Divine Deita! The Story in TWF Magazine UK!
“DEITA KLAUS, “Goth
Queen of the Galaxy”, was
formerly Dawn La Rue, founder
of Near Death Experience
(NDE) an LA Goth Band and
Lead singer for the Chicago
cult band, Surrendur Dorothi.
Deita Klaus emerged from the
Galaxy, after a big bang. The
phenomenon was beyond
words.”
Those are the opening words said
to us by Deita Klaus, an American
singer songwriter who is set to
become massive. In the States
Deita Klaus has already picked up
a collection of nominations and
awards for things such as ‘best
album’, ‘best song’, ‘best
newcomer’ etc.
Over on these shores Deita is now
on photo exhibition at the “De La
Salle” theatre in Bournemouth and
‘Bloody Kisses’ has also been
added to the house soundtrack!
Deita Klaus is a creation and
collaboration of Deita Klaus and
Susan Friedricks: Dream Girl
World Records (DGW). Susan is
Executive Producer, DGW records,
Co-Writer and Lead Triton
Keyboard Player for Deita Klaus
Deita gives us a brief description
of her music and where it comes
from.
“Ominous gray clouds, shrouded a
harvest moon, the night two white
night doves silently landed at her
feet, cooing as they hypnotized
rocker Dawn LaRue, into a deep
sleep. The last moment that Dawn
remembered was sitting on the
moon in the black night,
surrounded by a Starfest, reading
from, “The Order of the Golden
Dawn” Tarot.”
Deita continues, “Rising in a
meadow surrounded by staring
dear, Dawn saw fairies dancing on
the edge of an old growth forest as
she awoke in awe. The two Dream
Girls rose to their feet, and started
singing, a glowing purple humming
bird approached. Deita Klaus
looked around and realized
everything had changed. “Where
am I… what is this galactic Dream
girl world”? At once the
hummingbird bird spoke, and at
that moment, the entire Galaxy
seemed to stop and listen. She
said, “You are the, “Goth Queen of
the Galaxy”, your new name is
Deita Klaus, and these are your
songs…” After that fateful day,
Deita Klaus, “Goth Queen of the
Galaxy” and Susan Friedricks
have continued to channel sacred
songs.”
Susan Friedricks speaks of her co-member
very positively, “She is a
gorgeous dark, voluptuous,
woman with emerald green eyes
that cast exotic spells. Her voice
echoes angels and devils in the
sexy gravel tone that is her special
sound. Deita is certainly one of the
most compelling voice’s in Goth
and beyond. She is truly a galactic
singer, songwriter and musician.
The Deita Klaus following goes
beyond borders of music genre
and countries because Deita
Klaus’ songs spring from the
Galaxy. The songs are narrative;
they are life, like velvet ‘Bloody
Kisses’ [Deita Klaus’ biggest hit”].
Deita inspires and seduces her
listener as she shares her world in
the music.”
In fact, it’s fair to
say that even in the underground
word is building slowly. But from
those that are in the know there is
a buzz going on and many believe
Deita Klaus could be the best Goth
act to come out of America for
years…
“I love the UK and feel it has been
my home in a past life.” Begins
Deita, “I believe the voice that
sprang from me on ‘Penny
Dreadful’ is an English woman I
once was. The USA is wonderful,
though I hate the war, but I
consider, Deita Klaus, to be part of
the world order of music. As the,
“Goth Queen of the Galaxy” my
home has no borders, it is where
black, white and all colors, ideas
and spirits merge.”
The latest album from Deita Klaus
is ‘The Order of the Golden Dawn’
and album full of influences
including; “Love, Truth, Peace,
Pain, Bliss, Misery, Tragedy, Spirit,
Soul, Blood, Secrets, The Sea,
Life, Birth, The Doves, The
Hummingbird, the Stars, Moon,
Sun, 9/11…and a gift from the
heavens!” The key to ‘…Golden
Dawn’ is that every song on the
album has a tarot card that goes
with it. “A different Major Arcana
card in my treasured ‘Order of the
Golden Dawn’ Tarot deck inspires
all of the songs.” Explains Deita.
“For example ‘Bloody Kisses’ owns
‘The Lovers’ card, ‘Vampire’ is the
‘Death’ card and ‘Las Vegas’ is the
‘Wheel of Fortune’ card”
Among the songs on the album
there is ‘Saint Diana’, represented
by the ‘Empress’ card, which has
helped build a lot of publicity for
Deita Klaus as it has been
deemed somewhat controversial.
Deita explains how she intended it
to be interpreted “Every woman
wants an ageless love song
written for her. I chose Diana,
Princess of Wales, because she
was a beautiful and tortured soul
who died a tragic death. I
somehow felt close to her and
wanted to express my feelings in a
song. The songs are channeled;
they truly do spring from another
world. Maybe she talks to me. I
don’t question inspiration.”
One thing that has to be said
about ‘…Golden Dawn’ is that it
really does live up to expectations,
at least to these ears. You can
read a full review in the reviews
section of this issue. There is one
question has to be asked from
this, with an album that is so
strong, how can Deita Klaus follow
it up?
“The upcoming album is, not
surprisingly, entitled, ‘Goth Queen
of the Galaxy’ The New Album is
coming soon to rock your world!”
enthuses Deita.
Deita further explains, “Every
inspiration, like a moment in time,
is new and different, change is
inevitable, and joy or horror. It’s
hard to put new musical ideas into
words. We like to experiment, and
always create from the heart
without limitations. Be Patient….
The reward of patience is
patience, as my little Zen book
says.”
Deita is confident the new album
will be well liked, “You will love the
new songs, I promise. As I said,
the new album is coming soon to
inspire your soul and grab you by
the throat… in a good way. Great
dance tunes to.”
Of course with each album comes
a tour, so what are Deita Klaus’
tours like?
“Think about the best Horror Rock
show you can imagine…” begins
Deita, “This is a tale of “Deita
Klaus – Goth Queen of the
Galaxy”, she welcomes you into
her Dark Dream Girl World, with
fairies, devils, angels, vampires
galore. Sponsored by Dream Girl
World Records (DGW Records).
The show is a Gothic Galaxy
inspired Extravaganza. The tour
will launch the new album, Get
ready….”
