About this artist

Dubbed the Satanic doo wop band, Twin Temple showcases the gritty sounds of leaders Alexandra and Zachary James. The duo gained cult status in 2016 with their debut, Bring You Their Signature Sound...Satanic Doo-Wop, which featured their soulfully kitschy mix of old-school R&B, pop, and rock.
Hailing from Los Angeles, Twin Temple came together on Halloween 2016 after married couple and creative partners Alexandra and Zachary James wanted to combine their love of traditional R&B and rock & roll with their practice of Satanism. The couple initially met in 2008 when singer Alexandra (née Alexandra Lee) brought guitarist Zachary into her ’70s glitter rock-influenced band Alexandra & the Starlight Band. Over the next few years, they developed the Twin Temple sound, drawing upon a pastiche of influences from classic girl groups like the Marvelettes to the rootsy guitar rock of Chuck Berry and the Satanic pop iconography of the Misfits and Screamin' Jay Hawkins. In 2018, they issued their debut album, Bring You Their Signature Sound...Satanic Doo-Wop, which was recorded in mono over a quick two-day session. The standalone single “Satan Is a Woman” arrived in 2019. ~ Matt Collar
