About Me

Patsy Grind is a southern CA pop/rock band playing songs that mix dark, soulful, and honestly stripped lyrics with gritty, melodic music. With the recent release of their full length CD Call It Love on the independent Happy Dagger Label, Patsy Grind has caught the attention of fans and critics alike. With catchy rhythms, memorable lyrics, and haunting intensity, Call It Love promises to take listeners on a musical and emotional roller coaster ride. The band is the creation of singer/songwriter Danielle Silva, whose songs range from insightful studies of human relationships ("Superstar"), to pieces of clever prose ("Beautiful Mess"), to meaningful snapshots of her own life ("Cover Your Eyes"). Her lyrical poetry is showcased in songs that combine a variety of musical influences reflective of Danielle's life and travels. Danielle has put together an awesome line up that combines power and passion. Judy Cocuzza, formally of Betty Blowtorch is the drummer and driving force behind the band. Judys playing has been featured in many magazines including Drum, Spin, and RockRGrl. She has been nominated in the category for Best Female Drummer by the LA Music Awards, Rock City News, and All Access Magazine. Mapex Drums are part of her list of endorsements, which include Vater sticks, Remo heads, and Paiste cymbals.On lead guitar, Mia Ferraro is responsible for all the catchy hooks and screaming solos. Ferraro cut her teeth playing in the bands Tadpole, Bulimia Banquet, Bobsled, and her own hard-edged band Spoon. She even played guitar for a short time in Hole during what she describes as the group's "third guitar player revolving door" period. On bass, its Nick Young, the heart of the bands solid lower end. Multi talented, Nick also plays sitar, bass, bamboo flute and belches spontaneous poetry as the situation demands. He is a veteran of the LA music scene playing covers of old and new rock, reggae, blues, funk as well as originals in his own band. Together, this band fuses together to make for an incredible, intense sound and show.I made this myspace background at BackgroundStation.com
