PRIMA DONNA
PRIMA DONNA
After extensive European and Asian tours with longtime supporters, GREEN DAY, Prima Donna were invited to record at their Oakland, CA studio with head-engineer Chris Dugan (Iggy Pop, Green Day) producing. The result is Bless This Mess - 12 tracks of catchy, hook-laden, high-intensity Rock n' Roll! Call them punk, glam punk, rock n' roll... any way you cut it Prima Donna channels such influential groups such as X-Ray Spex, Ramones and Sex Pistols, as well as '70s glitter idols Mott the Hoople, T. Rex and David Bowie. But it's their sharp, concise songwriting, that separates the band from the pack and sidesteps any notions of the group simply being "retro."

THE JAPHIES
The Japhies pick up where classic rock radio has left us, wondering what has happened to the authenticity of rock bands. Difficult to describe but undeniable when witnessed live, The Japhies have revived the corpse of rock and roll, bringing a visceral, raw energy to live performances as well as dynamic songwriting, reminding fans that it's okay to turn it up to 11. Their music, performances and persona have inspired a wide array of classifications.
BLACK CHURCH SERVICE
Muddy Waters once said, "If you want to play the blues, you have to go to church. A Black church. Because that's where you learn to put your soul into music." While making no claims to be in the same league as legend Muddy Waters, the concept of injecting soul into music was fascinating to Ramones-obsessed members of the BCS. Based in Minneapolis, the Black Church Service has few goals other than to play some decent punk rock music, injected with the soul.
