My name is Paige Lawrence, I am a belly dancer and I sing for an industrial band. I work out of the San Francisco Bay Area and perform up & down the west coast (and sometimes other places). I write music & lyrics for Her Undulating Scales which you can find on our Music tab. I sang or played guitar for a number of local industrial / metal bands in the 1990s and 2000s: Murder Death Kill, Burning Down, Black Snake Moan, Burning Pixels & After The Apex. I am also the founder & director of The Uru Tribe, the first all male Fusion Belly Dance troupe in the US. There is almost never a time when I am sitting still. While belly dance is the main thing I do, the musical beast is never at bay for long. Check here for updates on new music, dance classes and performances.
