Antigone Rising – These Girls Have Risen
Antigone Rising is an all female rock quintet know for their grass roots indie ethic and non-stop touring schedule. AR is one of the bands that has found success through the new business model of music by selling their CD’s through the Starbucks Coffee record label, Hear Music. The album debuted on Billboard’s Top 100 comprehensive chart at #92 and went on to sell upwards of 15,000 copies a week through the Summer of 2005.
The band’s front girl Cassidy has a voice that rivals the best rock singers of the 1970’s. For a great example of Cassidy’s vocal power check out the duet with her and Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 on her Myspace. If you ever see Antigone Rising live, be sure to yell out a request for their Queen cover of ‘Fat Bottom Girls’.
