Caring For Kids Foundation Bio:
May 8th is very dear to our hearts, as there exists 4,000 homeless and at risk children in Las Vegas. Its a truly worthwhile charity (www.caring4kidsfoundation.org) that we are ALL participating in. As the only foundation in America that directly brings the needed food to hungry children rather than drop off points and also provides mentoring, we are proud to be able to help in this endeavor. Caring 4 Kids will take any cash, check or food donations that day. Should any food be donated, it must be non-perishable food or snacks as listed on their website.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Strawberry
Linda Strawberry (real name Linda Michelle Rowberry) is the nom de plume of a Los Angeles singer, best known as the keyboardist from Billy Corgan's solo tour in 2005. She signed to Chrysalis Records with a publishing development deal, but announced in her blog in October 2006 that she has since been dropped by the label. She left citing artistic differences.
It is estimated that she has completed thirty songs with various producers for her debut album. She started her own label in the spirit of DIY independents called "LOVELY CHAOS RECORDS" and released The Lost Record EP in August online via iTunes, snocap, nimbit, Napster and other outlets. The artbook CD version is coming out within the next couple of weeks. The Lost Record EP includes six songs: "The Ballerine Song", "Dig", "Color", "Fuck You I'm Beautiful", "Reckless Heart", and "Thieves".[1]
Linda is very active online writing her fans back and putting up lots of content. She has amassed an online following of over 100,000 people.[1]
She has appeared on The Jimmy Chamberlin Complex album Life Begins Again, and on the soundtrack of 2002 movie Spun as well acting as an engineer on Sarah McLachlan's latest record. She was also active as a production assistant to the Zwan project.[2] She contributed artwork to the reissue of Smashing Pumpkins' Zeitgeist.

Red Paintings Bio:
http://www.theredpaintings.com/
Visionary Brisbane-based performer Trash McSweeney sees colour in his music. Ever since suffering a near-fatal seizure eight years ago, Trash set out to share with the world a lifetime's worth of ideas about what he has seen and felt. By taking to his guitar, piano, and notebook, The Red Paintings were officially born upon the dawn of the new millennium.
Based in Australia, though having been fortunate enough to already tour much of the globe, The Red Paintings are a five-piece group incorporating additional choral, orchestral, and performance art features wherever possible. Their shows amalgamate sonics and optics to create a living, breathing canvas that stimulates the senses and minds of listeners and viewers alike. Once jacked into your stereo and brain, The Red Paintings' sounds evoke everything from child-like lullabies of the future, to tearing, biting, alternative rock numbers. They are sometimes compared to multi-faceted acts like Radiohead, Muse, and The Arcade Fire, and their appeal reaches baroque-pop steam-punks, metalheads, indie-rock fanatics and beyond.
Currently recording their full-length debut album, The Revolution Is Never Coming, Trash & Co. are drawing on years of cumulative experience and every inch of available resources to create a record of epic proportions. Sharing hopes and desires shaped from a passionate world view, The Revolution Is Never Coming is what Trash hopes will be the tipping point for the band's career. With their diverse history and cult following, the band is stepping into the new year kitted with an arsenal of music, exciting live performances, and diehard fans (who Trash says are "the best on the planet"). It truly looks as though the future is now for the band.
Prior to this most recent endeavour, the band released the first two EPs in their Robot Trilogy series, Walls and Destroy the Robots. By taking their show to the streets alongside dozens of fans, the band staged marches throughout capital cities and towns with intricately designed futuristic costumes and 9-foot robot statues. With all eyes upon their excitingly provocative performance art and accompanying nightly shows, three tracks from the EPs gained high rotation on well-known radio stations including Triple J, Nova, and Sports Talk UK. With EPs selling well and charting week after week, including a mind-blowing 15 weeks on the Net 50, the band kept things buzzing with interviews and reviews across the globe including appearances in Rolling Stone, Blunt, and NME.
After being handpicked as support for Scottish post-rockers Mogwai in Australia, the band also played major festivals including Big Day Out, Livid and The Great Escape. They shared the stage with bands such as The White Stripes, Sigur Rs, and The Polyphonic Spree, which helped them to reach across diverse fan-bases to much acclaim. Fortunately, some of the converted happened to be fans of self-proclaimed "punk cabaret" duo The Dresden Dolls, to whom The Red Paintings were mentioned as a potential "perfect fit" support slot on the Australian leg of their world tour.
Singer/songwriter Amanda Palmer (one half of The Dolls) contacted The Red Paintings with an offer to tour Australia together. After winning over The Dolls' hearts and praise in those few shows, the band was asked to tour as direct support throughout the rest of The Dolls' tour including shows in New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The tour was an extreme success, and reached maximum stride each night when Trash performed Tears For Fears' song "Mad World" alongside Amanda during The Dolls' encore. Despite having a trailer of equipment stolen while on the road, The Red Paintings managed to persevere in top form, and were fortunate enough to sell as many as 170 CDs per show! In the final days of 2006, two successful products chronicling the tour and the band's experiences throughout were released as an epilogue of the year; their first-ever DVD (a tour documentary) and live EP (which sold out in record time).
Before closing out 2007 with two monumental Christmas-themed charity concerts, the band released the final EP in their Trilogy (Feed The Wolf) and embarked on The Animal Rebellion tour (as well as like-minded marches in which they donned costumes depicting genetically engineered animals). These helped sales surpass the 20,000-unit mark for all TRP CD releases combined!
Following these shows, The Paintings have primarily focused on their fan-sponsored record, The Revolution Is Never Coming, which to date has generated over $40,000 in donations (click HERE for the full story)! Never wanting to be outdone and always wanting to keep fans stimulated, the band has been hard at work on album production at the same time as working on an elaborate accompanying stage show and tour for Revolution. The Paintings have always set themselves apart in their live performances by building stage shows and events that incorporate the imagery from their releases (such as the aforementioned trilogy), and the debut record will be no different. It is this attitude and ethos which helped secure a slot on this April's MUSEXPO showcase in Hollywood, CA.
Returning to the USA for a string of dates this April and May, equipped with their full-length debut, the band is poised to strike in 2008. Like no other act, The Red Paintings are journeying into the new year with vibrant and visionary performances that are sure to impact tour destinations new and familiar alike. Not only is this opportunity to reacquaint themselves with the world outside of Australia extremely advantageous to the band's career, but perhaps they will be able to prove even themselves wrong and show the world that, in fact, the revolution is coming. It is here and now, and The Red Paintings are at the front of it.
Trash McSweeney (Vocals, Guitar, Sequencing & Samples), Ellen Stancombe (Violin, Vocals), Mike Langdale (Bass), Andy Davis (Drums, Vocal), David Sue Yek (Cello).
