About Me

RYE COALITION'S new "Curses" CD was produced by DAVE GROHL and hit the streets on April 18th. Included is a DVD which contains a "making of..." documentary and live music video full of hi-jinks and hilarity (like the Monkees but without the homoerotic overtones). "Curses" can be ordered TODAY from GERN BLANDSTEN , AMAZON , INSOUND or INTERPUNK .
