The Sicks


Majandra Delfino is an actress who is most remembered as Maria, the loyal, sometimes sarcastic and sardonic friend of Shiri Appleby (Liz Parker) in the TV series Roswell.

She made me laugh when watching that series on TV, and now that I own the Complete Roswell DVD set, I laugh out loud again watching reruns of this wonderful actress. I watched her evolve from frustrated friend, keeper of secrets to someone looking for true love with her "alien" boyfriend played by Brendan Fehr. But the most important thing that struck me was her voice. In the first season of Roswell, she sang in a few of the episodes and they were all done by her, no substitute voicing or lip-syncing.

I have only recently found out that in October of 2001, she released an album under the name Majandra entitled The Sicks. I did some research and found that it is no longer available. However, Amazon.com has provided 3 free MP3 downloads of the songs Ski-Ming, Oil+Water and Siren. Her debut CD is inspired by Bjork and Portishead and the music has a dark edge, sound-based electronic music to it. After listening to the 3 songs from the free download, I was hooked, but now, I'm stuck because I can't purchase or find an online site selling a copy of her CD.

If anyone out there reads this post and knows of a place to obtain a new copy of her CD or perhaps, free downloads from the rest of her album, do provide the site address in the Comments Section below, I would be eternally grateful!
