Momma Dukes (drummer) flirted (ha ha) with the idea with Dawn Sweet (Lead Vox) and after seeking out other like-minded dirty flirts like themselves they found another talented Fem Fatale “T” (Rhythm Axe), and one energized rocker Rob Luv (Lead Axe). Having a bass player issue…, and gone through two so [...]

out, fun time cover band from New York City. The members of the band are mostly financial services people during the day and closeted, wannabe rock and roll stars at night.

They’re doing [...]

Blackbird Sing
We just endorsed the band Blackbird Sing and wanted to share a little bit about the band! Blackbird Sing began in 2010 as the brainchild of Robert Vito Salinas, former singer songwriter of the now 
defunct, but seminal, “Dieboy” of 1990’s pop-punk fame. After 13 years Dieboy eventually called it quits in 2006 due to personal differences in the bands direction. The self-imposed hiatus would almost see the exit of a talented musician, whom after years of being a fixture in the local [...]
