Edie Sedgwick

In 2004, after early experiments with assorted collaborators, El Guapo bassist Justin Moyer began performing solo in drag as Edie Sedgwick, the reincarnation of an Andy Warhol Superstar who died of a barbiturate overdose in 1971. Armed with a video projector and the occasional backing band, Edie traveled through many dark nights presenting auditory and visual art that honored the likes of Angelina Jolie, Robert Downey Jr., Paris Hilton, Martin Sheen, and other luminaries. After many singles, full-length records, and international tours, Edie entered a long, dormant phase from which she threatens to emerge at any time to dominate the 21st century culture of fame her aesthetic anticipated.
