I’ve been wanting to tell you...
For those of you who have not taken the opportunity or had the chance to head out to see Sexy Ester and the Pretty Mama Sisters, you're truly missing out on a band I now absolutely LOVE!!
My Spouse and I spent a weekend night with them at Hixters in Warren and they are truly awesome. Lyndsay Evans is an amazing singer, and a night with her singing songs you can belt along to along with others they've written is quite an experience. the rest of the band, IMO, is icing on the cake.

"Get Your Love On" Reviewed by RadioIndy.com! POSTED BY: momof5pacs POSTED ON: 23 Nov 2008 03:06 PM “Get Your Love On” by Sexy Ester and the Pretty Mama Sisters is a collection full of original, melodic pop/rock music. Lead vocals are strong and powerful, which lends a distinctive element to this group’s sound. Get a rock groove on when you listen to “The Tambourine Song” as it showcases solid power chords on the guitar and rolling drum beats. “The Love Song” exhibits how tight these musicians are with their perfect timing, shown throughout the song. The addition of a grooving bass solo really makes the song rock. Taking a change up to a Latin rhythm, “The Simple Life” and “841” shows diversity within the band and includes the use of Latin percussion instruments. Fans of The Cranberries, Melissa Etheridge, or melodic pop/rock should definitely pick up “Get Your Love On.” -Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
Sexy Ester and The Pretty Mama Sisters are all about fun! They will entertain from cover to cover, and leave you wanting more. They are influenced by classic rock and embody that throw back sound. Lead Vocalist Lyndsay Evans Can really belt.
First of all... we would like to thank everyone that ever came out to listen to Grupe Therapy.
With that said, due to life in general we've decided to disband. We had a great run and enjoyed every show we played and everyone that came to the shows.
We'll try to keep our MySpace site up to date but if we should happen to lose it, you can always check out our music here at LocalBandz.Com.

explore making peace happen within ourselves so that we may calm the world.
The VibeSetters consider themselves to be a present day rock n' reggae jazzfunk improvisational experiment in classic songwriting and music composition for the positive upliftment of universal suffering and injustice.
Folks who have experienced The VibeSetters music don't necessarily agree and had the following to say when asked the question:
"What type of music do The VibeSetters play?"
_________________________________________
more rock or alternative influence rather than reggae
a weird mix of jam stuff and rock and reggae. I do not know if I would call it reggae
rasta deadhead or country reggae
More pop then reggae
rock/ska/blues
not typically reggae but with a nice flow.
Hip-Hop
didn't make me think of Reggae, but more old rock
Not sure about the style, can't really classify them
Rocksy
remindes me of some old Zeppelin riffs
Almost not reggae
the soul of this music is rock, southern rock influenced by a west coast rock blues approach
sounds like something by Sublime
not really reggae
more rocky than reggae

I haven't heard stuff like this since Steely Dan or old Santana. An urban feel. The rhythms away you like a long lost lover and holds you there till the end
Santana meets The Dead
a spice of reggae
(November 2008) MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
Terramara has released its third full-length album: Dust & Fiction.
Once described as the "second coming of Steely Dan", the new recording finds the group moving in a new direction. The band has teamed up with Producer Jon Herchert to assemble a more guitar-driven album more evocative of Coldplay, XTC, and the Beatles. Melodic songwriting meets quirky, sonically adventurous production.
While retaining much of Terramara's signature sound: piano-based pop songs with rich harmonies and clever lyrics, this new collection of powerpop gems shimmers with layered guitars, and shades of ambient and electronic sounds in the mix. As one reviewer said, "Simultaneously intelligent and incredibly catchy, they might just single-handedly save pop music" (Larry Kolota, Kinesiscd.com).
The new album has already garnered airplay nationwide on XM Radio and been featured on local radio (Cities 97) and TV (KARE 11).
Terramara recently celebrated the release with a massive show at Trocaderos nightclub in Minneapolis. The show featuring a 12-piece ensemble with a four-piece horn section, back-up singers, and additional keyboards and guitars to bring the audience the full sonic variety embodied on the new recording.
Minneapolis-based Terramara is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Rob Meany who formed the group in 1998. The band has won numerous awards for songwriting and performance over its 10-year career.
