Pretty Suicide
http://www.prettysuicide.com

What happens when you combine a lead guitarist who loves reggae, a rock diva vocalist, a power pop bassist with a good imagination, and a drummer with a sweet tooth for all things metal? High energy, female fronted, Power Pop-Rock.

 

Goodfinger

Contact Mike Williams on 718-782 7641

Coming right out of Brooklyn, NY, GOODFINGER is a five-piece rock outfit with a twist! With more front than Macys, Miss Scrappy Calloway dances lyrically through the maniacal, searing guitars of Mikey-Boy and Johnny-B, as bomb-blastic rhythms are delivered priority, right to your senses by Frankie C. and Swami. After cavorting in and out of the downtown New York scene for over a year, with shows at Lit, CBGBs, Pianos and Plaid, they are heading into the studio to record their debut ep. with producer Tim O'Heir (All-American Rejects, Stellastarr*, Hotrod Circuit, Sebadoh).

 

The Outside
http://www.the-outside.com

Two years have passed since 'The Outside' first shook the walls of The Music Building in NYC. The common interest of creating powerful, melodic, passionate music along with the combination of 'do-it-yourself' drive and the opportunity to work with respected members of the industry has brought 'The Outside' to another watermark in the pool of rock and roll. With the highly-anticipated release of their second EP- 'You are the alpha...gracias por nada.'- the four members are anxious to follow its release with live shows and a more extensive song list of the emotionally-charged soundscapes that make them truly unique. The 5 song EP represents a matured, seasoned sound of the group while showcasing the individual strengths of each member. It also captures the energy of the live shows while not minimizing the subtle intricacies of their musicianship.

 

New Professionals
http://www.new-professionals.com

New Professionals is a 6 piece NYC-based band formed by singer/songwriter Karen Curious. In September 2003 the band recorded their critically acclaimed debut album "Come Hell or High Drama" released on Real Chick Records. Just 3 days prior to recording her vocal sessions, Karen's brother Derek was murdered in his home in Venice, CA. The devastating circumstances surrounding "Come Hell or High Drama" add a hauntingly powerful imprint on what is already a gut-wrenchingly real and beautiful album. The band is gaining fast momentum -- opening for renowned recording artist Jesse Malin, signing deals for movie soundtracks, and touring the East Coast. Catch them on their "Rockstar" climb before they get "Too Hot"!

 

LOURDS

contact: lourds@lourdsmusic.com

"LOURDS needs to be heard by anyone who's ever said, "Man, do I need a break from the same, old thing."
-- Larry Flick, Billboard Magazine

"Captivating the audience with her blend of classical violin and rock, she thrilled her devoted followers, immediately filling up the club. Her epic rock performance was both intimate and exhilarating.
-- Bridget McGoldtrick, Women Who Rock Magazine

LATEST NEWS: The unreleased LOURDS song "I'm Not Afraid Anymore" is featured in a benefit compilation CD for RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization, featuring top artists including Tori Amos, Grammy winners Michelle Branch, Matchbox Twenty, and the Indigo Girls, to name a few. Complete track listing and ordering information is available at: http://www.rainn.org/nextx.html

 

The Missing
http://www.themissing.com

"This is a dark sound that spells rage...and I would say it definitely has a sadomasochistic charm to it. Judging form the press photo and the scathing vocals, this girl could easily kick my ass."
-- More Sugar Entertainment

Its current metamorphosis, completed in early 2004, finds the missing: with a darker, passionate, gothic metal sound. Fresh again with new members and new energies, the missing: has once again begun to scratch and claw its way to the top of the New York underground scene.

When asked to describe her music, vocalist DM simply says, "Painful, yet not unpleasant. At least for me." A strange answer? Maybe. But somehow an accurate one for a band that refuses to be defined by any normal means.

 

Valeze
http://www.valeze.net

From Brooklyn-NY, Valeze brings glamour, pop, and punk to the stage. Described by the Village Voice as “dance-punk revivalists fronted by a sassy female” and by Womanrock.com as “theatrical and pretty darn sexy!”

Singer/Songwriter Tiffany Randol fronts the band with an undeniable combination of talent, fun, sex, and attitude. Producer Chris Goercke’s guitars range dynamically from song to song drawing one through the various moods of the album. Combine the infectious energy of Joe H. on bass and James Call on keys, with Kennedy’s charged rhythm, the listeners are carried seamlessly from glam pop to punk rock and if you’re lucky— the occasional soulful ballad

The band has been wreaking havoc on the NY rock scene with their raging CIRCUS party described as “kick ass balls to the walls” and “one of the few bastions of lawlessness in an ever increasingly no fun city.” Independently, they have won the raves of critics and fans across the world, topped the college charts, and preformed/recorded with a number of celbrated artsits…
