Official web sitePierced Arrows * Orange Is In * Dead Roses Rudyard'sMay 22, 2009Rudyard's presents Pierced Arrows * Orange Is In * Dead Roses.Pierced Arrows - (pictured, Portland, OR) After the demise of underground legends DEAD MOOD in fall 2006, nobody was surprised to hear that founders Fred and Toody Cole had lost little time in starting a new band. They recruited drummer Kelly Halliburton in April 2007, and soon the PIERCED ARROWS were up and running, playing live shows in the Northwest and recording songs for upcoming releases.PIERCED ARROWS picks up, musically, where DEAD MOON left off - a lo-fi assault on the senses played with the sincerity and feeling that made DM such a special band for all of their fans around the world.Orange Is In - (Houston, TX) “Orange Is In is one of those bands that keeps chugging for the grown-ups. The band's new EP, Come and Take It, revels in this hard-won maturity with cautionary tales, rootsy rock songs laced with elegant violin, and singer George Kovacik's Costello/Springsteen-esque vocals.” -- Sara Cress, The Houston Chronicle“The best thing about Orange Is In is that their music is straight-ahead rock’n'roll. Nothing pretentious or fake here.” -- David Cobb, HoustonCalling.net“On Come and Take It, it’s evident that the band has spent a lot of time together crafting music that’s important to them – music without posturing or pretense.” -- Adam P. Newton, Envy Magazine“[orange is in is] organic chill-out music...made for warm summer days -- even if you hear it played in a dark club at night.” -- Bob Ruggiero, The Houston Press“A couple of listens in, I can attest that [Another Lame] Semi-Tragedy is anything but -- it's a terrific slab of mature, modern power pop with violin accents.” -- John Nova Lomax, The Houston Press"Kovacik fronts orange is in, and you can hear every bit of Springsteen's gravel-throated influence...One of the band's strongest songs is Father's Day, a lush rock ballad that uses folksy violin to expressive effect. Though Kovacik is a quiet conversationalist, his zeal and strong vocals shine on this song." -- Sara Cress, The Houston ChronicleDead Roses - (Houston, TX) "We're not just a band.....we're a fucking tragedy" - with these immortal words, they launched into their debut set on Valentine's Day of 2004, and H-town's infamous DEAD ROSES were born. Since then, they have played shows with notable acts such as the DEMOLITION DOLLRODS, GLASS CANDY, DEAD MOON, BOBBY CONN, LOST SOUNDS, LES GEORGES LENINGRAD, FATAL FLYING GUILLOTINES, MEAT PUPPETS, and DIRT BOMBS. Heart broken, sleep deprived, glam damage is this group's forte. Their formidable line-up includes former members of the LEPERS, INTROVERTS, CULTURCIDE, PAIN TEENS, TRUTH DECAY, VULGARIANS, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE, THE HAUNTING ALLURE OF ELKE PALLENBERG'S VOID, SWARM OF ANGELS, HIGH ALMOND CONTENT, NTX PISTOLS, DISCOMFORTRON, DOTS, MYSTERY FLAVOR, and BRIDE OF PINBOT to name a few. DEAD ROSES have recorded and re-recorded their epic first release nine times, but refuse to put it out until it absolutely meets their impossibly high standards of excellence. Other activities/interests include socializing with superstars, needlepoint, speaking with fake foreign accents, experimenting with eyeliner, and getting kicked out of ALICE COOPER concerts
