MP3 Song
Dead On

THE SONG
A perfect second track from the album "Devil on my Mind". The energy is phenomenal with a power packed chorus that definitely satisfies. Solid playing and production make this cut a winner.

THE CD
13 fantastic pop/rock/punk tunes on this disc. The cd also includes a great version of "Girl U Want" the old Devo tune. The production is smooth, the songs to the point and overall very very entertaining. This band has the look, the style and the tunes to propel them very far.

San Francisco's most delicious and delirious new rock'n'roll owns a freshand fierce sound that is undeniable. This hot rod new wave foursome, whichcombines devilish hooks with a danceable tough-sexy Y2K flair, is spreading its contagious fever everywhere. On February 15, 2000 they released their second CD "Devil On My Mind" to many anxious supporters. Beginning on February 18, 2000 SimonStinger's song "Fringe Authority" was heard nationwide in the Miramaxfilm "Diamonds" starring Dan Aykroyd, Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, and Jenny McCarthy. Simon Stinger also appear as extras in the movie.

Founded by singer Alicia Perrone and bassist Victor James in October '95,Simon Stinger quickly became known for wildly entertaining live shows.Fronted by Perrone's remarkable vocal skills (imagine: Siouxsie & TheBanshees and Mae West), Simon Stinger recalls the days when radio and bands were exciting and reckless.In 1996, the band's debut release, a 7" vinyl on their own Muscle Car Records, received over 150 college radio adds. In November '97, the band released their first CD "Private Collection," with more fun and furious newwave anthems. In its second pressing, the CD has received airplaynationwide, with popular, influential stations such as KUSF and Live 105taking notice right away. DJ's, reviewers, and audiences of all ages love this band, sharing the sentiment that Simon Stinger's music is so contagious they can't take it out of their players. Simon Stinger's HiBrow Cabaretshows made quite a splash around the northwest in 1999. These were full productions headlined by the band with local drag queens opening up each show. After a bay area debut, they took their HiBrow Cabaret on tour to LA and Portland. With a reputation for being chameleons and rarely looking or performing the same way twice,supporters wait to see what they'll come up with next. Simon Stinger's charismatic stage presence led Jagermeister to award theband a sponsorship in May, 1999. Top-of-the-line endorsements soon followed from Dean Markley, MJ Guitars, Line 6 Amps, and Remo. This notable stage presence was again rewarded when Simon Stinger's unique and intoxicating video for their cover of Devo's "Girl U Want" won a showcase last December when screened for music industry professionals in Hollywood. Their online presence is flourishing as well, and being favorites atMP3.com, the band was chosen to perform on MP3's Music & Technology tour opening for The Goo Goo Dolls and Tonic last November. Simon Stinger is now one of five finalists chosen to open for Stroke 9 in Chicago on the Mentos Freshmaker Tour.
