GIRL AUTHORITY debuts on ROUNDER RECORDS NINE GIRLFRIENDS AGES 8-13 TEAM UP FOR CD BACKED BY NEW ORLEANS MUSICIANS April 6, 2006  Cambridge, MA - Out now on Rounder Records is the eponymous self-titled debut CD from Girl Authority, a new pop singing group made up of nine girlfriends between the ages of 8 and 13. Produced by Grammy award winning Producer and Rounder VP of A&R Scott Billington, the record features covers of popular "girl-power" hits from yesterday and today, some of which include "Dancing Queen," "Material Girl," "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," and "Hollaback Girl." Six of the fifteen tracks on the CD are group vocals, highlighting the long-standing friendship shared among the Girl Authority girls; the remaining nine tracks showcase the solo vocals and unique personalities of each. As it came time for the girls to choose their songs and they gravitated towards what felt right, alter egos came about which now also celebrate their individuality. An energetic and tightly knit unit, the girls deliver with verve and the occasional collective giggle. The Boston-based Girl Authority girls are: Tarr (Rock-n-Roll Girl), age 13; Alex (Fashion Girl), age 13; Jacqueline (All-Star Girl), age 13; Carly (Glamour Girl), age 13; Jess (Boho Girl), age 12; Gina (Urban Girl), age 12; Crystal (Country Girl), age 11; Kate (Party Girl), age 11; and Zoe (Preppy Girl), age 8. They have been performing together for years under Girl Authority Executive Producer, Samantha Hammel through her MetroWest Family Theater productions. Rounder Records, America's premier independent label and already an established presence in the children's music genre, brings its "real music" philosophy to the Girl Authority CD. Producer Billington, who gathered a top- notch group of New Orleans musicians to lay down the CD tracks, says: "This is a high-quality record that parents and kids can enjoy together. No computers, just real musicians playing together and making the songs groove." Rounder has launched a national television advertising campaign and an interactive web site, www.girlauthority.com, in support of the CD. The group plans to tour this summer. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2006 14:43:01 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Soon to be Eddie's favorite new band On Apr 6, 2006, at 2:01 PM, Eb wrote: > Rounder has launched a national television advertising campaign and an > interactive web site, www.girlauthority.com, in support of the CD. > The group plans > to tour this summer. Do they do any L7 songs? I like this part: "Refreshingly unscripted, never pre-packaged, Girl Authority is a group for real girls everywhere. Cmon . . . join the fun!" Oh yeah, this sort thing is never pre-packaged. - -t "war is peace" c [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/pkcs7-signature which had a name of smime.p7s] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2006 19:17:45 -0700 From: "michael wells" Subject: RE: Soon to be Eddie's favorite new band > Subject: Re: Soon to be Eddie's favorite new band Gawd, not ANOTHER Tool rip-off.
