Merch-goddess extraordinaire. Over the years ms Lynch has earned herself the reputation of true professional in the field of tour "It's not as easy as it looks" merchandising. Expanding into management and booking, this all round talent is now the driving force behind bands such as Darkane, The Defaced and Vomitory. Remember, behind every successful man, there's a very patient woman!

Starting out doing radio, after studying Communications in New Jersey, the natural born redhead headed over to Europe to tour the globe with acts like Immortal, Cannibal Corpse, Impaled Nazarene, Opeth and Vader to name but a few. Her list of mobs goes on and on and on, all hailing Erin.

The bass-playing founding member of all-girl supergroup Optic Snot, when not on tour Erin divides her time between Germany and Sweden. Here's an on-the-spot haiku for ya...

Favorite band: Queensrÿche

As a one-woman cyber army, ms The has been working her way through the Internet since 1995, running websites and communities for bands & artists alike. Webdesign, development, emarketing, content management & copywriting are all in her impressive bag of tricks, alongside a little concert photography (www.vertigoddess.net)

Still attempting to finish her dissertation in Political Science, she divides her time between metal, men's magazines and voluntering for women('s rights) organisations (Women on Waves, Savante, Mama Cash).

Living in (and out of) a shoebox in Amsterdam, she might look fabulous on the outside but she's still metal on the inside. Life is DELUSHES!

Favorite band: Cynic
