THE STRINES @ MERCURY LOUNGE / MARCH 18TH / 7:30pm

http://www.thestrines.com

This NYC pop-punk-rock band hit the ground running in the summer of 2003 with gigs lined up at the best music venues in New York, playing to a rabid crowd any debut artist would wish for. They've quickly emerged as one of the hottest unsigned bands in the city. Influenced by 80's pop and today's punk-rock, their catchy upbeat songs are already being recognized by the TV and music industries. The CBS hit series "Joan of Arcadia" has featured their songs "Beard" and "I Want Something Else" in the show.

Australian firecracker Georgia Haege fronts the band with her sweet yet risque vocals. Fresh off the plane from Sydney, she met up with guitarist/producer/renaissance man Eric Kaye. The lineup was quickly rounded out with the punchy bass lines of Erika Szanto, the blistering leads of guitarist Adrian Barrios, and the thunder of drummer Chris McBurney. Together, this five piece creates a full-on blast of unbridled energy in their live show, and is not to be missed. The Strines' full length self-titled debut CD is expected to be released in early Spring.
