CROSSOVERBIOGRAPHY: Mark Ingram and Vanessa Tosti also known as Vee & Dez formed CROSSOVER in New York City and released their first album "Fantasmo" pioneering dark underground electro folk tales in 2001. In 2005 they released their second album "Cryptic and Dire Sallow Faced Hoods Blast off into Oblivion" again ahead of the pack with their own unique style of "cozmik" music. The two lived in Berlin for a spell and did European tours for both albums including shows in major cities in the US and Canada. The mystery surrounding the band has gained them a cult like following and also won them features in rags such as The Face, ID, NME, D-Side, Blow Up, Jockey Slut, Sleaze Nation, and Nylon, amongst others. Along the way they have put out limited and hand numbered unreleased music and art on their own DIY non-label Cellar Door. Under this banner one can obtain "Anti-Cvlt" propaganda and regalia including hand screened shirts, patches and badges. Also the Pirate Communiques, which are hand printed & bound fanzines that the band uses to disseminate their ideas and artwork. CROSSOVER have shot, directed, and edited their own videos including "Over Exposure", "Apples on a Stick", and "I know Your Face" as well as creating the artwork layouts for their albums. This time they would like to be known only as Rat Boy and Rat Girl and for their sound to be referred to as Gloom - a dark craft - dirty, spaced out, sad and beautiful.
