Lianne Brantley
Lianne was born in Los Angeles. Her mother is a famous media celebrity, her father is unknown. Lianne grew up an only child, used to loads of media attention and with a fiery love for music and adventure. This led to her dropping out of school on her fifteenth, alternately working and partying until she met Forest Wilson and Walter Lay on a night out in a LA modern rock club in Year 24. They invited her to join their band, which they'd just started. Thus the 10 dB's were born. In Year 25 they were joined by Inga Darden, Daniel Flood and Laura Pelletier. For a while they played only in the US in the underground scene, before setting their sights on Europe.
Lianne came to be one of the front faces of the band. She was born for the stage, indulging in the attention, the lights, the music and the cheers of the audience. During her younger days she was also quite a groupie, fawning over many well-known performers and quite often succeeding into getting them to sleep with her. Lianne herself is a free spirit, believing that love should be shared and spread. She's had many lovers over the years (including her bandmates), but since Year 31 she's been going steady with Stephen Leece. She's adopted his three children Lauren, Joep and Luca, has borne him two daughters (June and Joy) and a son, Shane.
With the regrettable split of the 10 dB's, she was offered to join Rebel Justice after the Giants Tour, which ends in Year 36. She's gladly accepted the offer, having been a Rebel Justice groupie since she was eighteen years old. Rainbows Unescapable is what happened next for Lianne. During Year 36 she was teaching at the University and bored out of her mind, so she decided to set up a silly coverband so she could at least get on stage and play again, even if it was for small, intimate audiences. The name of the band was taken after one of her most famous songs I Shit Rainbows. This band was not very successful, but it was enough for Lianne. She often invited befriended artists to share the stage with her (most notably Isa Birnie, Lya van der Meer and Clayton Hilliard) and obviously had fun, but she didn’t make a secret of the fact that once the time had come to join Rebel Justice, she was very relieved to finally go all-out again.
She joined Modern Rock mammoth Rebel Justice on the last day of Year 36, on the last show of the first Giants Tour. She was pretty nervous about joining this band, that has been dominating the Modern Rock charts since Year 18, but thankfully all went well. Audience response to her greeting the audience was beautiful, and she’s been embraced by the fans since then. She’s thrived in the Rebel Justice environment, writing songs and playing her heart out and having fun with her bandmembers; boyfriend and drummer Stephen Leece, leadsinger and friend Torrie Paris (who recently replaced lead singer Anna Morgansson) and Modern Rock genius Jean van de Pol. During her time in Rebel Justice, the band has been firmly lodged on the highest regions of the Modern Rock charts, but the band is ambitiously trying to reach for more.
Their highest position has been #3 on the WIW list, and they’re going for that top position, as well as the Popmundo Festival, giving it all they’ve got.
