Regina LaRocca
Regina LaRocca plays a powerful metal guitar part on “Sapphire Blue”.
She started playing music at 11yrs old in 1976.Coming from a musical family, she was sent to study classical and Flamenco guitar with Alfred Greathouse.
Shifting from that genre to electric guitar inspired by Black Sabbath in 1978, she ended up in several high school rock bands that gigged until 1985 when she joined LD50 (aka Lethal Dose/Thorn) and ended up in the world of Satyricon for a decade. This band featured Jan Cox of the Dots (first band to play the venue) and Wade Crow (RIP, writer and guitarist), along with Buzzy Calvosa later to be replaced with Samantha Moore). Regina shifted to bass to play in LD50, The Obituaries, The Oily Bloodmen, andM99 then adding electric guitar back in her own project Caustic Soda. (Not to be confused the band who later took the name in Washington). Due to the overwhelming loss of bandmates due to drug overdoses, she left the scene and joined a world trance band playing bass called Land of the Blind in 1998. Also in 1998 she played bass in Dreams in Excile for 2 years.
In 1994 a phenomena called LAB featuring members of Hitting Birth and Caustic Soda had a once a week improvisational recording session that went on for 16yrs until Stephen Spyrit of Hitting Birth passed from this world in 2010. There are hundreds of recordings that will eventually be uploaded to the Internet.
In 2000 she went back to acoustic guitar in Gothic Outhouse, an Americana, folk cover band doing Tom Waits covers and songs from past defunct Portland rock bands. This band became Sinners Serenade in 2008 after Heidi Hellbender of M99 left to do other projects.
Regina almost left this world in 2008 and in 2009 was inspired to record a solo CD called “This Inspiration” to document past works in case she didn't make it. It featured songs she wrote mostly on acoustic guitar in the 80's. She sings, plays all guitars, bass and frame drum. John Henalt of Dr. Amazon and 20ft Man plays kit drum on the album which was released in 2011, at which time she joined the rock band Saint Jacks Parade as the lead guitarist where she is to the present day.
She occasionally sits in on side projects.
