THE RITUALISTS:
Rising from the NYC underground glam scene & basking in the glow of critical adoration for their prior releases (Painted People & Baroque Bleeding), produced by Ed Buller and available everywhere on Out of Line Music & Suite484 Records. The Ritualists now seek to build on their brand of “Gothic Art Rock” with a new, full-length effort, produced by grammy-winner, Mario McNulty. The band, which has oftentimes been identified as proudly embracing the more ornate elements of rock-and-roll, have promised their latest effort will further test such boundaries. They are featured regularly on Simon Lebon's WHOOOSH Sirius program and have completed multiple successful tours the US, recently performing at Brooklyn's TV Eye and multiple locations in Nashville, Athens and Washington D.C.

Bad Kitty came up on the streets of New York City. The band combines the fire of their post-punk roots with the sensual lyrics of modern pop, and a metal/hard rock crunch.
Singer Roxy channels the spirit of Iggy Pop while summoning dramatic, breathy vocals with vibrato, like Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Guitarist Howard Gato-Mal gives metal a makeover with nu-wave tonality, punk-rock instincts and a subtle Latin/Hip hop groove.
And drummer “Boom Cat" McLaughlin channels Elvin Jones meeting John Bonham at Dave Grohl's house.
“Feline Fatale” Hunt brings the warm tones and driving rythyms inspired by the Bad Seeds, the Fall, and Joseph "Lucky" Scott.
Audiences love the high energy, theatrics and carefully-crafted songs this 4-piece band brings to every show.
KINGSTON & GREYSTARR:
Created in a zebra-wallpapered room in Old Vegas, Kingston & GreyStarr began their journey as the back-up vocalists for guitarist Punky Meadows of Angel fame.
Continuing on, they joined forces as an alternative pop-rock duo performing with music greats including A Flock of Seagulls, Tiffany, Angel, Eric Martin and DD Verni of Overkill. Music from their first EP Covered in Glitter has been featured on albums and soundtracks alongside Earl Slick (David Bowie), Clem Burke (Blondie), Dennis Dunnaway (Alice Cooper), The Alarm, Monster Magnet, KIX and The Donnas. Their eclectic tastes (combining alternative rock, new wave and pop) create a sound and live presence crackling with energy. Their recent EP Back to the Glitterverse reimagines alternative and new wave classics, debuts original music, and features the legendary Daniel Ash (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets).
