Where did she come from?

-In The Beginning…

Scarlet Slipping (Dawn Wagner) started out in 1995 at age 17 under the name “The Dragon Queen” a solo act with a drum machine and gory, half nude theatrics in dirty Iowan punk clubs sharing the stage with local and touring bands.

One of those touring bands; “Trance to the Sun” from Santa Barbara, CA came though Iowa in the winter of 1995.

-Adventures off yonder

By the following spring Dawn had moved to Santa Barbara to replace Trance To The Sun’s leading vocalist, Zoë Wakefield. Ashkelon Sain, founder and mastermind of Trance To The Sun worked closely with Wagner recording the 1997 TTTS release “Delirious”.

Dawn and Ashkelon ventured off on tour of the West Coast and Midwest with the opportunity of sharing the stage with “Switch Blade Symphony”, “Sunshine Blind”, “Faith and Disease” and “Cinema Strange”. Soon after the tour Dawn Wagner departed from Trance To The Sun as priorities for Scarlet Slipping surfaced.

Escapades thereafter included a hitched ride to San Francisco, life in a storage closet with mild insanity and destruction of all original Scarlet Slipping tracks.

-Good bye California

Winter of 1999 Dawn moved to Minneapolis, MN and built a personal recording studio.

Several recordings from 1996 through 2001 have been archived and are schedule for a March 2008 release on Shinto Records. 

2006 was the release of Scarlet Slipping's debut CD "Fire In The Mist", currently available at www.projekt.com. “Fire In The Mist” has been described by reviewers as "delicate, moody and haunting" .

“Hound” is the latest album coming from Scarlet Slipping.

A new sound with a minimalistic approach and the essence of old school electronics, with use of drum machines and keyboards, it's very cold, sexy and strange.

One minute samples of all tracks are available on www.download.com

Hound was entirely self- produced and is also Scarlet Slipping’s first album signed with new label Shinto Records. It is schedule for release late Feb. 2008
