The media shines a spotlight on the world of mental health pretty often; however, it’s not every day that someone from the world of mental health steps onto the red carpet.

Not every day, but not never. (You like that double negative, don’t you?)

Case in point: Dr. Sarah Kennedy – or Dr. Blonde, as the media is affectionately calling her – is a senior psychiatrist with the Borders Mental Health Service.

She’s also the front woman for Modus, the funky retro Edinburgh band with a debut album – Sounds from the Kitten Casino – out right now with the US record label Hammondbeat and to pretty good reviews.

From what I gather, Kennedy has been dabbling in music for quite some time and Modus has actually been around for a few years; however, it’s recently been singled out as one of the names to watch for 2009.

I’m certainly watching now.

I checked out the band’s MySpace page, and while the members of Modus may have missed big opportunities with the Austin Powers films, I think they have potential. I’m really digging “Club Soul Magic.” Go on, check it out.

And head over to Mark McLaughlin’s interview with Kennedy and the rest of Modus to learn more.
