Surrender The Pink

This is not your Barbie's pink.

About Me


MySpace Layouts
Jules began singing in musicals since the tender age of five. With several national tours under her belt, Julie wanted to expand her talents into popular music without actually delving into the dreaded “pop music” of today’s fake blonde, fake breasted, lip synching divas. (That's right boys and girls, the boobs are real. If they were fake they would be bigger!) Besides, she figured rock and/or roll couldn't pay less than professional theatre. Recycling cans pays more than professional theatre! She also figured being in a band would help her get laid. It will, won't it?
R.E. King is a veteran of the L.A. music scene. He's played with signed bands Amy Loraine featuring Family Affair (RCA) and Tongue Dance (Rock Dog Records), as well as a plethora of local groups. His guitar work can be heard on numerous records from both major and indie labels. He is a native Angelino, and he is not surrendering his pink (which is highly ironic, in addition to being false advertising, given the name of his band)!
Brought together by a love of booze and good tunes, Jules and RE King formed a fast friendship. With each seeking to further avoid obtaining a reliable job that required actual effort, the duo decided to form Surrender The Pink. This plan seemed solid, until RE King found out the only instrument Jules could play was cowbell. Seeing how a cowbell does not make an acceptable percussion section in and of itself, King and Jules used promises of beer and frequent flashings of Jules's above mentioned petite, yet very real knockers to lure Guy of "Guy And The Tit Tit Tits" fame into playing drums. Enticed into the band by her love of pussy (cats, pussy cats... what were you thinking?), Justine K of "Joe K's Kid" fame joined Surrender The Pink on bass, because three is a crowd, but four is a foursome! Or something like that. We're not sure whether or not Guy and Justine are planning to surrender their pink, but buying them plentiful drinks may ease the decision making process!

Music by R.E. King/Lyrics by Julie Brydon

Influences: Cap’n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters! Dorothy Parker, The Beatles, Say Anything, Joni Mitchell, Ani Difranco, Vienna Teng, Miles Davis, Jim Croce, Jeff Buckley, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Leher, Flight of the Conchords, Tenatious D, The Groovy Rednecks, Captain Hook and the Seamen, The Pixies and Thena Dare to name a few. Not to mention a little band naming inspiration from Carrie Fisher.
Sounds Like: If Sarah Silverman had a love child with Tenacious D that was best friends with a still angsty Alanis Morisette, not only would the kid need years of intense psychotherapy, but it might sound a little like Surrender The Pink.

Reviews - What People are saying about us on http://www.garageband.com/artist/surrenderthepink

For “Cupid”:

“Cool intro, hilarious lyrics! Lead vocals are very cool. Musically ambitious, the track is well performed, and well sung. This girl means business! She wants it all, and she wants it now - she doesn't sound like she's getting very much more than a mouse though…” - ReplyMemo

“Firstly, I love female vocalists in rock bands, and this one didn't disappoint. It almost sounds a bit 80's. Guitar chords are obscure, but not off-putting. Lyrics are ingenious, bad ass, but delivered smoothly. The mood is catchy and captivating.” - roxtarsime

“ [I] like the choppy guitars and the backup vocals. Lead vocals may be a little loud, but the singer does a good job- no stupid attitudes, just solid singing, like upward singing notes too she does it around 2 mins in a way thats unique. Guitars remind me of lemonheads. Sometimes the backups blend in nicely with the whinny off note guitaring which sounds great” - Victor_Lester

“Sorry, it is bad but only because of these Christ killing lyrics!!! You made baby Jesus cry!” - Verfield

For “Don’t”:

“This song has one of those interesting start that kind of winds around in your head making you wonder what lies around the corner... then you get to the corner... and there's this girl standing on a stage jamming away with cool bass and guitars and an awesome drummer. She's singing a song about loving this dude and not being sure how he'll react to her advances. Then the guitar solo kicks in leading us to this part where her twin sister pops on stage and sings harmonies in this nice groovy way. I like the back up singers too. This song is fun and rocks and is good and is nice and is enjoyable and is worth a good listen. Enjoy!” - groovyalien

“This is a very good intro with guitar. The lead vocal is very good. Excellent orchestration. Does not sound like any group I know. Rather original & innovative . Nice lyrics & melody.” - EMILIEN

“Hilarious lyrics! Well performed musically, the arrangement is workable, and I'm pleased to hear the background vocals, although I'd like to hear more of them spreading across the melodic spectrum…Cool vocalist! I bet she’s a real firecracker.” - ReplyMemo

“Give the singer a tuba or something so that we don't have to listen to her anymore, because she is much more than I can handle listening to. A little tuba couldn't hurt this song, but, then again, very little could.” - Mansi
