Powder
exploded onto the LA music scene in early 2001. Since then it has been a
nonstop super-charged runaway train full of awestruck audiences and loyal
fans throughout the world.
Known as the best band in Los Angeles for the amazing adventure in sight
and sound, POWDER keeps the fans on their toes, anticipating anything from
femme-bots to 10 feet tall aliens. The audience is mesmerized by the array
of unforgettable, melodic hooks and Ninette's over-the-top costumes and
uncanny stage presence.
Within six months of POWDER's formation, they were
awarded "Best Rock / Pop Artist" and "Best Live Show"
at the 2001 Los Angeles Music Awards, as well as The Rock City News awards
for "Best Female Fronted Band", "Guitar Player of the
Year", and the NoHo News "Rock Band of the Year".
In 2002 POWDER was awarded "Best Live
Act'" and "Best Modern Pop Band". Last year POWDER was
nominated for "Best Rock CD", "Best Rock Video",
"Best Live Performance" and "Best Female Vocalist" by
the LA Music Awards.
Last December POWDER exposed themselves to the
world making their international television debut on Playboy's
pay-per-view program Night Calls.
POWDER was also the first unsigned band ever to be
included on the A&M Record compilation Very Special Christmas.
POWDER's turbo-pop version of Christmas Don't Be Late (The Chipmunk
Song) not only received national airplay throughout the holiday season,
but also won critical acclaim as the stand-out track on the album.
As their visibility grew, POWDER contributed five
supercharged re-mixes to MTV's Tough Enough in the summer of 2002.
POWDER concentrated their energies towards
recording during the winter of 2003 and the end result was a self-produced
high octane, 11-track jolt, titled Sonic Machine. Co-Producer John
Vitale (Garbage / Republica) worked closely with the band in creating a
truly unique sound explosion on songs such as the mind blasting Need A
Little Help and the Led Zeppelin classic What Is And What Should
Never Be. Mixer Scott Humphrey (Rob Zombie / Crystal Method) also
brought a full-blown sonic punch to the hook-laden anthem Up Here.
Later that year, POWDER shot and screened the
video for Up Here, directed by Stuart Acher, in Hollywood.
Staying true to Ninette's superhero image, the
video is a comic-book-come-to-life with cameos by Jay Mewes (Jay &
Silent Bob) and Ahmet Zappa (Star Search). The Up Here video has
since aired on MTV2's 120 Minutes, MMUSA's Oven Fresh and has recently
become the MOST REQUESTED VIDEO on KERRANG TV UK for 2004!
Always paving the way, POWDER was invited by the
ABC Television Network to be the only band to perform at the PROMAX
Television Conference in Los Angeles last summer.
In March 2004 POWDER's new highly anticipated,
self-titled CD was released in the UK & Europe on Continental
Entertainment, Inc. with a promotional tour that followed. POWDER was then
invited by CLEAR CHANNEL to return and perform at the DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL in
Donington, England in JUNE of this year. With over 5,000 eager fans there,
POWDER was one of the most talked about performances of the entire
festival and had No.1 requested video on Kerrang TV.
Following their return from the UK, POWDER's song Adore
Me was chosen as the theme song for the WNBA by ESPN and was aired on
ABC, TBS and ESPN as well as being played at every game for the entire
season.
This summer POWDER will have made their first
Japanese release and released their 2nd single entitled Seat of My
Pants in the UK, as well as US distribution in the fall of 2005.
