Kansas City-based ALICE SWEET ALICE has been dominating the domestic airwaves with what is quickly becoming their first hit song “M.I.A”, from their 2013 album “Ribbons & Stone”. This includes placements on the National Airplay Top 200 (#174), Top 50 Independent (#12) and the Top 50 Rock (#4) charts, according to Digital Radio Tracker. This puts ALICE SWEET ALICE in some pretty prestigious company--including FOO FIGHTERS, PAPA ROACH, THREE DAYS GRACE and AC/DC.
Life is a little sweeter for ALICE SWEET ALICE these days, with their presence on these nationally recognized charts being only one of a few recent career developments. This includes their signing with STAR 1 RECORDS and receiving branding as an Official MTV Artist—due to their label’s exclusive licensing deal with media giant VIACOM. And the good news keeps on coming--ASA has hired a completely new lineup to join founding members Scott Martinez (Bass Guitar/Vocals) and Ali Kat (Lead Vocals/Piano).
ALICE SWEET ALICE front man, Scott Martinez states, “Better late than never! The middle to the end of 2014 was devastating for me personally, losing my Father to Cancer. During that time, ALICE SWEET ALICES’S members realized that we had reached the zenith of our present association. Shortly after burying my father in late 2014, we were approached by STAR 1 RECORDS, a licensee of VIACOM and were soon signed to the label. “M.I.A.” was released through INgrooves as our introductory single in the domestic and international markets. We were quickly—and pleasantly—surprised to see it jump so quickly to the top of the charts…and it keeps climbing!”
From late 2014 to present, ALICE SWEET ALICE collaborated with new musicians on new material, and it quickly became apparent that new partnerships would result. ASA is now a larger, more powerful band--with lead vocalist Ali Kat moving from behind the keys to up front and center--and with not one, but TWO powerful guitarists, by the names of Ryan Shaddix and Timothy Flanery. On keys is a talented piano and violin playing prodigy by the name of Natalya Wren, who will also be contributing background vocals. Last but not least, a teenager on drums by the name of Chris Poje, who is something of an idiot savant on the drum throne.
Martinez further states, “The chemistry is just incredible between all of our new members, and we will be releasing new material in April 2015 and officially debuting our new membership to the world. The fact that we have had recent success on radio is extremely encouraging. Through our label STAR 1 RECORDS, who recently partnered with TNT MANAGEMENT AND BOOKING AGENCY, live dates will surely follow.”
