THEY'RE THE DUDES, WE'RE THE LADIES Join our mailing list and stay informed BAND INTERVIEW GO TO: www.whitewolfzone.co.uk/ladysmith.htm JAPAN TOUR HAWAII!! OUR STORY: When Aerosmith said “Let the music do the talking,” they weren’t just paying lip service. Their message reached generations, and inspired many, especially five girls who figured out that rock n’ roll isn’t just a man’s game. It’s about the music, and in Ladysmith’s case, it’s about having fun keeping the music alive. Back in the day, Aerosmith was the band that all the cool high school kids in the smoking area listened to. The band’s music also reached all the way to the admittedly not-so hip areas of three Texas elementary band halls where Lone Star natives Robin Beacham and Leslie Carol and NY transplant Jennifer Paro were honing their chops on drums, clarinet and flute respectively. Meanwhile, in San Francisco Amy Tung was tinkling away at the piano keys while Max was pounding away at the drums in Los Angeles. Through radio, concert halls, the fledgling MTV network and blaring out through the speakers of a bus en route to a marching band competition, the sound that would change their life crept in. “I heard Aerosmith for the first time while surrounded by band-mates trying to play cards without a table on the bumpy moving bus,” remembers Leslie. Max and Amy Tung got wind of the band via their popular MTV video. “I just couldn't believe how big Steven Tyler's mouth was and how hot his scarves looked!” Amy reminisces. For Jennifer Paro, the introduction to Aerosmith was more personal. “My friend won two tickets and backstage passes by calling into a local radio station. The guys in the band were very nice and took time to say hello to everyone.” Marching band instruments disappeared as the girls honed their chops on a set of new, permanent instruments. Echoing the career footsteps of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry (who formed Aerosmith while working in an ice cream parlor), Robin and Leslie formed the nucleus of their first band while working in a Pizza Hut in Houston. Fast forward to Los Angeles, where years later, all of our heroines relocated in pursuit of their musical dreams. The five girls hook up under their common love for classic rock, and decide to pay homage to the most durable and best selling American hard rock band of all time, Aerosmith. Robin points out, “Everyone joined this band because they love Aerosmith’s music and thought it would be a blast to play it for Aerosmith fans.” “ I jumped at the chance to be Steven Tyler’s alter ego! I mean, he’s a wonderful peacock!” chimes Leslie. Their motto became “they’re the dudes, we’re the ladies!” so it only seemed natural the band should call itself Ladysmith. Leslie and Robin transformed into the girl non-Toxic Twin duo of Eve Tyler and Flo Perry. “Joe and Steven are the dynamic duo of testosterone-driven rock,” says Flo, “but Eve and I are the Laverne and Shirley of the tribute band scene.” Max adopted the moniker Zoey Kramer, Jennifer became Brat Whitford, and Amy Tung adopted the persona of Tung Hamilton. Collectively, the seasoned musicians that make up Ladysmith have played globally from Japan to New Jersey to Germany. They’ve entertained our armed forces, played huge corporate events, and performed in clubs to concert stages. They’ve opened for such diverse luminaries as Smash Mouth, Devo, the Beach Boys, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Paul Rodgers, Kings X, Night Ranger, the Village People, Eric Johnson, Animotion, Jody Watley, and Stroke 9. After only a handful of shows, Ladysmith found themselves the subject of a British documentary on the girl tribute band phenomenon. The band was also lensed for a Canadian documentary funded by McMaster University and for an upcoming book on female rock musicians. Flo and the band are now the “poster girls” for Girls Rock! guitar picks regularly featured in Guitar World magazine. The members of Ladysmith look forward to performing again for our men and women in uniform overseas and to other fun future events. a href="http://www.pimp-my-profile.com/ |
