13 Candles formed in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, with Anya Marina as the lead vocalist. Their music mixed goth-rock with folk elements, and they released albums like 'Firefly' and 'Black Candle.' The song 'Bleed My Emotion' came out in 2003 and became one of their better-known tracks.
In 2006, they drew attention for an album cover showing Marina naked and covered in blood, which sparked some debate. The band's lineup changed over time, with guitarist Michael Ciravolo, bassist Paul Dilley, and drummer Aaron Anderson among those who played with them.
After a break, 13 Candles returned to playing live in 2017. Their catalog includes songs like 'Carmille (Addiction)' and 'Join Me In Death,' which fit their moody, atmospheric style.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
