Aiden mainman launches electro alter ego

You may know him as wiL Francis, a black haired / pale skinned punk rock singer with an interesting use of typography. Yet, the frontman of K!'s fave goth punks, Aiden, is about to embark on a dark personal journey with his new electro alter ego, William Control.

He's just set-up an official MySpace profile - www.myspace.com/williamcontrol - and his debut album, Hate Culture, is set to come out October 27 - the start of Halloween week - through Victory Records.

Speaking of October, he'll be busy rocking out with his day job from the 1st to the 15th, but a little bird tells us that he'll also be doing some low-key solo dates the following month.

Which are as follows:

November
02 Manchester, Roadhouse
03 London, The Underworld
04 Wolverhampton, The Little Civic
06 Bristol, The Croft
07 Southampton, Hamptons

Tickets are on sale now from www.aloud.com.

That knob-end is one of the most talentless singers in Rock history. His vocals are so far out of tune they're almost back in tune.

I heard about this ages ago, It's actually really different to Aiden, and you can hear clips of a few songs on the myspace page.
