NEW YORK NO STARS
http://www.newyorknostars.com
The New York No Stars are a band of beautiful contradictions. Born on the Bowery with tremendous pop potential, you can dress them up, you can dress them down, and you can take them anywhere. Theiving innovators of their own Pop Punk Space Rock genre, they have been compared to and stolen from an eclectic litany of pioneers. Ramones and Radiohead meets Concrete Blonde and Blondie. In a blender.

 

 

The DRIVE
http://www.thedrive.info

The DRIVE is an all-girl alternative hard rock band based in New York City. This 4 piece band performs all over NYC at the hottest rock clubs, gathering a following and making a name for themselves. They write gutsy music with melody and some down right heavy riffs with a heavier attitude. The songs, together with a high energy live set have been the
reason for the growing buzz about the band.

They've been shopping a 6-song CD sampler for the past year, and a new CD will be released in June 2003. They were recently endorsed by Epiphone guitars, and have now been selected to be featured in a major cable network reality show airing the summer of 2003 about the making of an hot up-and-coming NYC band's first video.

 

Portia
http://www.portiagirl.com

Portia's bad-ass band Portiagirl, with awesome backup singers Ki Ki and La'Shelle, has played many gigs around NYC. Each of these three ladies has also rocked the house at many of Don Hill's BITCH shows. Portia toured as the lead guitarist with fellow rocker Kelis as the opening act for U2's Elevation Tour, and also rocks with Nona Hendryx as a guitarist and background vocalist. She has worked with such well-known producers as P. Diddy, Wyclef Jean, and Malik Pendelton, and is part of Fender's landmark "Women Who Rock Play Fender" ad campaign.

 

LOURDS
http://www.LOURDSMUSIC.com
contact: lourds@lourdsmusic.com
At age 6, LOURDS wailed on her violin and dazzled audience at Carnegie Hall. Since then, LOURDS, a New York city native, along with her explosive band, continue to mesmerize crowds as she incorporates traces of her classical roots into a cutting edge, emotional music that is singable, hooky and most distinctly her own. Witness a LOURDS show and see audiences across the country raising their hands up and singing right along.

"Hot new music star plays to a packed house..."
- Caitlin Cleary, TheSeattle Times

"... a doll to watch, the beauteous and wild LOURDS"
- Pamela Des Barres, E! Entertainment

"... The fun has just broken out, well it has since LOURDS came. One ofthe most exciting violinists in all of America from Carnegie Hall to Fox..."
- Brian Kilmeade, Fox News

TANG
P.O. Box 7240
Garden City, N.Y. 11530

TANG is the combined assault of Bonnie Parker and Denny Colt and was conceived out of chaos in 1997. TANG delivers a dual attack of metal/goth with Denny on guitar and Bonnie on bass, alternating vocals, trading phrases back and forth in their own burning style. They have toured Europe, Canada and the U.S. and have opened shows for such artists as W.A.S.P., Dokken, Hammerfall, Helloween, Dee Snider, Boy Sets Fire and many others.

The hottest new addition to TANG is Vanessa on keyboards. She comes from a classically trained background and has toured Europe and the US with the gothic metal band Vasaria. Right now, TANG plays with an army of killer drummers... including skull-splitting Nick Cipriano and an occasional appearance by TANG's original drummer,Gail Walden!!! TANG will be returning to Europe in 2003 to tour and promote the release of their third CD.
