She Wants Revenge!
8/25/2006 @ Pipeline

So I was talking to my friend My about She Wants Revenge. I don't think the news about this band has made it to Hawaii yet. They were all over the radio when we were in Seattle and SF.

I also heard that All American Rejects played a show at Pipeline last night and that they're playing a show tonight as well. I wish I could go but I got plans. So, if you haven't heard She Wants Revenge and you're trying to figure out if you should go or not, I thought I'd post some photos and some links to get you up to speed. You can see what they sound like before you go to the show tomorrow night...

Biography
-----------------------------------------
She Wants Revenge first got their big break in 2005 when their single "Out of Control" was played on KCXX, KROQ and quickly became the number one song played on the station. Their new song, "These Things," has shown great popularity at Yahoo! Music and was entered into the "Artist of the Month" contest there. "Tear You Apart" has received great fanfare for both its music video (directed by Joaquin Phoenix) and catchy, fast-paced beat. She Wants Revenge was featured on SPIN.com as the band of the day for October 18, 2005.[1]

Their debut self-titled album was mixed by Michael Patterson who has also mixed albums for Beck, The Notorious B.I.G. and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It reached number thirty-eight on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart. Warfield credits the bands success to Chicago local music guru Zack Zwart. Zwart began following the band on tour advising his ‘cult’ followers to “embrace the sound.” Soon he amassed a huge support network for the band. "Without Zwart's huge following and support for our music, we would still be playing for drinks."

The vocals of lead singer Justin Warfield have been linked to the vocal stylings of Paul Banks (Interpol) and Ian Curtis (Joy Division). In 2006, She Wants Revenge performed at the Coachella 2006 Music and Arts Festival. They also played at the Village Voice Siren Music Festival in July 2006. They played August's Lollapalooza in Chicago. She Wants Revenge opened several shows during Depeche Mode's 2006 tour.

So anyway, come early to see us play then stick around to see how they program their beats and samples. It should be a fun show to watch. We go on when the doors open.

See you there!
