"HELL ON HIGH HEELS"
1996: President Clinton is elected president of the United States, an explosion rocks the Olympics in Atlanta, GA. More people were killed on commercial flights in 1996 than any other year including the most memorable crash of TWA Flight 800. While the mainstream media is in a frenzy, frantically trying to keep up with all the news and events, something dark is brewing deep beneath the sewers of the city, something that is still nothing. Only a few witness the birth of of what will stand for everything the media has brainwashed you to hate. Nothingness that will be named Tragedy that will rock the underground and lead a movement of a new generation through the sewers to the surface and into the homes of families throughout the world. October 31, 1996. A shiny black combat boot steps in the front door of the grand opening of the hottest nightlife on Stonewall Street. He is wrapped in fishnet and tight shiny plastic attire. A disturbing looking female with blood red hair is hanging on his arm. Though it is the celebration of Samhain "The God of Death" now called Halloween, they were wearing no costume. Their disguise was the crowded venue full of others in costume and disguise. Two weeks later. November 15, 1996, Just a few blocks from Stonewall. Drenched in their own sweat, Tragedy and Rhonda make their way through the crowded underground after hours rave club outside to the parking lot. The parking lot here is a world of it's own. "whatcha got?" is a question in noones vocabulary because the answer will be answered with another question, "whatcha want?" sitting on the back of someones car, they encounter one of their dj buddies eRIC. A few rolls for some fat caps and a few stems was the conversation until eRIC spotted a chick in the parking lot on her way into the club. "Damn!" he exclaimed, "It looks like she's wearing skin tight chrome!" A phrase that rang beyond the pacifier and chattering teeth deep into an already deep dark mind. 1996 was only the beginning of Tragedy. He ran ramped in the night clubs for several years. Within months he held his own show night at three different nightclubs in his hometown. He began hiring his own DJs for his show nights and began promoting his own nights. Within a few years, Tragedy had an arsenal of DJs and was friends with, and booking agent for a number of local entertainers. His weekly show nights grew in popularity and the crowd had simply outgrown 2 of the venues. Seeing the bigger picture, Tragedy soon began throwing monthly parties at a larger venue that he obtained own his own. He hired national DJs from out of town to headline his parties and had his local "boyz" open the shows and set up different sound rooms in the venues. Mixing visual concert stage effects with the high-energy sounds of House, Trance, Breaks and Drum & Bass DJs, Tragedy's unique style of drag and his theatrical shows were both energetic and mind-blowing and broke the mold of traditional drag shows. In 2004, after Tragedy's father died from cancer, he hung up the high heels and vanished off the face of the earth. Had he returned to the underworld beneath the city's sewers? Tragedy began writing. He wrote in seclusion for 2 years. Finally, in late May of 2006 he was ready to resurface with his new band: "TRAGIC PARK". It was Tragedy's birthday, April 5, 2006 when he received a phone call from Zack's (his keyboard player/DJ's) sister. She was not calling to wish him a happy birthday, in fact she was hysterical and crying and could barely speak at all. "Mike's dead!" she cried. Mike was Zack's real name. TRAGIC PARK never performed live, and their debut single was never released. January of 2008, the words "SKIN TIGHT CHROME" have remained embedded deep in Tragedy's mind for 12 years now! In February of 2008 Tragedy walks out the door of a recording studio in Holiday, Florida. In his hand he holds years of built up emotions. He holds the master copy to his debut CD. The words "Ultra Bitch Diva" are scribbled across the gold disc with a black sharpie marker...
