Highly Irrevelent

We're very proud of highly irrevelent. In the throes of organizing and preparing to participate in--AND, help run--the Midwest's largest and oldest annual "magical" summer festival, Starwood, we nonetheless hit the studio repeatedly and made it a reality.

As with all of Victoria's songs and Revelry's musical offerings, highly irrevelent is a special, hands-on effort. It reflects a unique blending of magic and mirth ... sacred and silly ... seriously topical and totally off-the-wall musical commentary.

Although the triple-goddess power that is Revelry shines definitively throughout, we were also lucky enough to draw several wonderful musicians into our studio efforts. The result, we believe, is complex, yet clean? compelling?and at times, downright skin tingling.

We hope you explore ... enjoy ... and pass the experience along.
