Mike Street is the best new Hip Hop artist coming out of New York in 2008. He is a distinctive, handsome gutsy trend-setter, with a thug appeal. Just Listen to his new album "The Man and The Dream" and its easy to see why this 22 yr old powerhouse.

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.
