Info
3 KISSES jumps from one high energy style to another with traces of just about every cool female-fronted rock band of the last 20 years. The band has been compared to an array of artists including the Cranberries, Luscious Jackson, the Breeders, Joan Jett, the Buzzcocks, Letters to Cleo, Wendy O. Williams, Blondie, the Ramones and everything in between. They have coined the phrase ‘Texas Party Punk’ to describe their music. 3 KISSES’ live performance has been called ‘freakin’ explosive’ and lead singer/guitarist Tish Meeks has been referred to as ‘a ball of fire on stage.’ Tish launched 3 KISSES in Austin, TX, in January 2004 and the band has since performed over 350 live shows for over 300,000 people. Joey Smostek (lead guitar), Sam Hines (bass) and Andy Wood (drums) complete the recipe for 3 KISSES’ punkish ‘cuddle-angst’ with a positive, party vibe.

Info
ANEMO began life in September 2002 when Kingsley Sage was auditioning singers for a song writing and recording project. The results had been universally disappointing (to put it mildly), until at the 11th hour a former actress and talented vocalist called Hazelle Woodhurst entered the picture. The two immediately got on well, with their shared love of different types of music and, of course, a good cup of tea. The two set to work on penning a number of songs that would later become the basis of the ANEMO's first album. They decided that the project needed a rock edge, and to that end guitarist Matt Palmer was added to the mix.

After countless evenings at the band's basement studio in Brighton, the three had amassed an impressive collection of pop-meets-rock-meets-electronica tracks. At this point, the group took on the name ANEMO a word that means "changing forms", to reflect the blend of styles and influences that was brought to the music. The strong vocal melodies and distinctive style caught the attention of Trebor Lloyd, CEO of New York-based upcoming independent record label, City Canyons. In summer 2005 ANEMO signed a 3 album record contract and began to record the final tracks for their first album

I'm a full time Nichiren Daishonin Buddhist. It's the mainstay of my life. The rythym of my music.Daisaku Ikeda of Soka Gakkai International is my main influence. The idea of the human revolution as a way to change the world. Each of us have the power!!!Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. I take my cues from my environment. Paint a musical picture of what i see or hear or feel. When beat reflects the melody, reflects the harmony, reflects the lyrics, reflecting whatever instrument introduced,thats a perfect song for me. Ego has to be forgotten in the quest for a moving piece of work. To be able to portray emotion through rythym and melody is every musicians goal. Oh I hope I don't sound too wanky, its how I see music o;) Kate Bush, Bjork, Peter Gabriel, Otis Redding, Candy Staton,Peaches,Iggy Pop,The Rolling Stones,Outcast, Gorillaz,Jill Scott,Di Angelo,Faithless,Prince,The Roots,Roni Size,De La Soul, Blondie.......wow it's hard to slim it down! If it's got funk, if the art is unavoidable or if it's kickin ass and dirty with it,I'll love it.

Lily Sparks is a fun, sexy rock band in the vein of Heart and Pink, that delivers pure excitement. Check out the website, come to a show and experience it for yourself!
First timers are never quite sure what to expect when they see a Lily Sparks show but after a few seconds it’s pretty clear: They rock. Flanked by glitter guitars that alternate between crunch and wail, the singer’s got a set of pipes that can go from fragility to fury in a heartbeat. These girls play hard-rocking, toe-tapping songs that’ll make you want to shout and sing along.

Lead vocalist Niamh (pronounced “neev”) was born to sing. As a child in Ireland she sang traditional Irish songs, perfomed in choral groups and played lead roles in musical theater. She’s classically trained in voice and piano. She’s probably taller than you. But don’t let that scare you…

Nikki 7 plays solid rhythm and inventive leads. She studied music and recording engineering at Berklee before settling in the Big Apple. Then she took the town by storm as the guitarist for several outrageous bands in including Cherry Red, Soap Opera Villain, Fluffy, and The Mynks. She probably has more tattoos than you. But don’t let that scare you…

KG* learned the guitar by joining a punk band. Later she ventured into alternative rock while trying to complete a graduate degree in neuroscience. Needless to say, she chose rock over brain surgery. She probably has more guitars than you. But don’t let that scare you…

 "I didn't do this record the rock'n'roll boy way…it's my own sound," says Kelley Ryan.

Note the emphasis there—on the word "boy." Kelley Ryan, the front-woman for the California band astroPuppees and a go-to songwriter and collaborator (most recently on Marshall Crenshaw's Jaggedland), took a decidedly different approach to recording her first record under her own name. Twist is an album told from the female perspective; a theme encompassing everything from the lyrics to the instruments to the album's many moods.

"I had this idea: the record was only going to be about girls, be it the daughter I never had, a heroine of my mine, my grandmother or a woman who lived near me in Ireland," says Kelley. "It's all from the feminine perspective. Even in the music – there's no electric guitars, it's just acoustic and loops and strings. I mean, I love three-minute electric-guitar pop songs, but I wanted to create something more comfortable for me and stay in that mood."

But don't get the wrong idea – Twist isn't a polarizing record, a long lost Lilith Fair soundtrack or an angry feminine response a la Exile in Guyville. It's a gutsy record with ambitious production, smart collaborations (with the likes of producer Don Dixon (R.E.M., Smithereens), legendary arranger Van Dyke Parks and singer / songwriter Marti Jones), and a personal touch and warmth that crosses all musical boundaries. If anything, the album is reminiscent of something like Beck's Sea Change…which, not so coincidentally, is represented here by a cover of "Lost Cause" (more on that in a minute).

Sick of reading about himself in the third person on his own profile, Bobby decided to reWrite his biography...I love music, I love telling stories and I'm a shameless attention seeker! I'm awkward, I always say the wrong thing at the wrong time, and I'm a hopeless romantic! I don't dream of recognition, and I am most definitely not an artist of any description. I am a silly little boy with a few stories he likes to tell, because I love life...the good and bad...it is all beautiful!

Info

Formed by the association of singer Amélie Laflamme and musician/songwriter François Dufault, The Blue Seeds is completed by Marc Chartrain on drums, Martin Farmer on bass, Roger Miron on lead guitar and Eric Rathe on keys. Produced by François Dufault, the new album was recorded in Montreal (Canada) at Masterkut Studio and in Faenza (Italy) with the collaboration of Dustin O’Halloran (Marie-Antoinette Soundtrack, Sofia Coppola) from the American band The Devics. Recorded with an “indie” sensibility, the 11 songs comprised on the record reveal rich arrangements that include a wide variety of instruments ranging from electric guitars to analog keyboards, mellotron and vibraphone. The result is one that is unique and original. Cinematic and very evocative, each song leads the listeners into a reverie as if they were part of a fictional road movie. On stage, the band delivers an outstanding performance, pushing the songs to their fullest while leaving the audience into a daydream and sometimes stunned by the energy displayed by the musicians.
