The band plays a hybrid of
'70s R&B, with a twist of Jazz elements and a lot of Funk.
We do covers and some original material. Right now we are
laying down rhythm tracks for a cover of COLD BLOOD's
"Kissing MY Love". Check out some of the bios on our
bad members. These are ALL OLD SCHOOL VETS.
Our Violinist. Mark Cargill, plays
weekly in the American Idol house band and he was in the
Grammy orchestra. Our drummer, Raymond Pound, was Aretha's'
road drummer for years. Tony Drake, Lisa's fiancé and our
Musical Director, was part of Lou Rawl's and Love Unlimited's
rhythm section and toured Europe and South America. His style
is somewhere between George Benson & BB King. VERY bluesy.
(Or as we say, "greasy"). We have 3 horn players
(trumpet, tenor sax & trombone), and an outstanding
keyboardist, Tony Capuletto, who gives us a Bob James sort of
vibe. I occasionally sit in and play a bit of Latin percussion
(self taught). The band does a 30-40 minute set, then Lisa
comes out, Diva style and does another 45 min set with the
band. Since we target an older more mature demographic, we
have mostly concentrated on Corporate Events and have had some
very good successes there.
UPDATE: Mark
Cargill, Jazz Violinist extraordinaire and a key member of our
own Lisa Gay & Thrill ensemble has just been nominated for a
2008 GRAMMY AWARD.

The Ronettes were also
professional singers and dancers at New York's Peppermint

dancers for his Brooklyn Fox Theater rock and roll revues. |

Few artists can be called
true innovators, and fewer still can claim to have
single-handedly invented an entire genre of popular music.
Singer-songwriter Arlene Smith made history in
1957 when, as lead singer for The Chantels, she scaled
the charts with "He's Gone," a song that she had written.
The few women who preceded her as rock and roll stars had sung
songs written by men. The uniquely feminine viewpoint of "He's
Gone," and it's Arlene-Smith-penned b-side, "The Plea,"
as well as the all-time classic, "Maybe," provided a role
model for countless young women who formed groups emulating
The Chantels. The resulting "Girl Group" craze
revolutionalized the music business, and remains one of the
beloved cornerstones of pop culture. Arlene Smith
is universally recognized and acclaimed as the driving force of
the "Girl Group Sound," which remains popular today. And what a
lovely lady she is. Visit her site please! |
