Gruff-voice Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb is at the helm of the haunting "Incubus" as well as "Stalker," where his throaty sound is countered by Wider's agitated brew of percussion, humming notes and dialogue bits.
...since moving to the Detroit area last August... McCarthy, 28, who lives in Grosse Pointe Farms with his wife, Carrie... McCarthy's path to Detroit began in 1989, when he was introduced to the former Carrie Martin backstage at St. Andrew's Hall... McCarthy was married, but he and Martin kept in touch. When his marriage broke up, "she was there for me." The couple lived in London until last May, when they moved to Los Angeles. "We hated it there," McCarthy says, "so we came back with a view to figuring out where we'd go next. We ended up staying. The family ties and familiar faces were very nice, especially after the harsh realities of living in Los Angeles."
The members of Nitzer Ebb - vocalist/percussionist Harris, vocalist/percussionist David Gooday and singer Douglas McCarthy - released their first single, "Isn't It Funny How Your Body Works?," on an independent British label in 1985. Following a few more independent singles, they signed with Mute Records in the U.K. and Geffen Records in America and released their first LP, That Total Age, in 1987.
Harris' partner, vocalist Douglas McCarthy, writes most of the lyrics, but both members, along with their producer, Flood, are free to change things.
For several years McCarthy parted ways with producing music, at least as a career. By the end of the 1990s, Harris had moved to Chicago, and McCarthy was still living in Detroit, playing music and considering starting a new band. But then he decided to go back to school instead. McCarthy returned to England and enrolled in university to study film and design. He eventually wound up building a second career in advertising.
