  Inger Lorre

INGER LORRE
 

Inger Lorre first came to the world's attention in the early 90s as the searing lead singer of the grunge-metal band The Nymphs. A hard lifetime of drugs and personal pain added fuel to the songs and they were picked up by Geffen Records, though they'd anticipated releasing an album on a small label. Geffen could give them exposure, but unfortunatly they forced the group to wait two years before recording their debut album. An already restless band began to break apart inside. When a particular Geffen A&R man told the band not to play live (which was how they built their following), Inger walked into his office and pissed on his desk in a now notorious episode of anger.

Even though the band became equatable to choas and could have become one of the era's biggest bands, they broke up not long after their debut, Nymphs, hit the streets. They released an EP, The Practical Guide To Astral Projection, but their time as a band was over. Inger escaped to New Jersey and lived in a self imposed exile.

A few spots here and there over time, where Inger popped up in various places, never evolved into a Nymphs reunion or second album. She teamed up with Motel Shootout and released the single "Burn," but that group never recorded more than demos. However, in 1999, a clean and sober (and somewhat more sane) Inger emerged from New Jersey with a solo album, Transcendental Medication. A highly personal album, it tells of friends long gone, drugs and a deep personal emotional affliction.

Today, Inger is working on a new album, and is in the process of completing her autobiography.
