AMBER ROSE

2006 was a busy year for Los Angeles resident, Amber Rose and her new band! After a brief sabbatical from music at age 18, singer/songwriter, Amber Rose Kelly began playing out again, as a solo artist, in April 2006, when Ian contacted her through her MySpace Music page to play at The Cat Club on the Sunset Strip.

It would be her first return to the Sunset Strip after debuting at The Rainbow Room at age 16. She followed this up by playing at The Rockstars Show After-Party at the swanky private club, Otis in San Francisco in May, at the Start Mobile Launch to promote her 4 song ringtones chosen for the new service, which included Sorrows and Tears, Don't Let Me Go, Now I Know, and Pushing Me Away.

On June 12th, she qualified for Boot Camp, after being voted as one of LA's Top Bands to compete for a $1,000,000 Recording Contract in the
Bodog Battle of the Bands. The only problem was, she was a solo artist, and had to produce a band out of nowhere to play her show.

The next two months were spent scanning Craig’s List, Music Connection, and any other sources to find a group of musicians that were not hired pros, as this would eliminate her from the competition. Finally, after much trial and error, the Amber Rose Band was born. The current line up is Amber Rose on guitar/vocals, Buster Nicolas on electric guitar, Yoan Hidalgo on bass, and Eddie Chavez on drums.

Her new band debuted at The Roxy on August 30th to a packed house.
And everyone was surprised at her new sound! A far cry from her solos acoustic days, she rocked the house that night, and the crowd loved it! Though eliminated in the WildCard Voting phase, Bodog invited her band back for the Semi-Finals at The Key Club on November 22, 2006 when another band dropped out.

She was the only female fronted band left in L.A., and held her own against 19 of Los Angeles's Best MALE fronted Bands! She may not have won Bodog, but she won the respect of her competitors, and she is sure to win yours, too!

Amber Rose’s song, “Powerless” won 4 Garage Band awards in October of 2006, and as a result of her past involvement with the charity organization, Sound Aid (www.soundaid.org), her song, “Don’t Let Me Go”, will be included in the upcoming Sound Aid Compilation CD to be released in 2007.

The CD, which will feature music by other Sound Aid artists, will sell at Starbucks, and other similar coffee house venues, with 100% of the proceeds going to Sound Aid, which directly benefits Heifer International (http://www.heifer.org). There is also discussion about an upcoming Sound Aid Concert, which may be coming to a city near you!

Other shows this past year have included, The Masquer's Cabaret in July, The Cat Club in October, and the band's final show this year on December 8th for the Junkiri School in Nepal, Katmandu!

Amber and her band will start recording this month, so please check out their MySpace page for upcoming songs, and info about their upcoming CD.

Amber Rose will be performing June 1st at The Tangier, 2138 Hillhurst Avenue, in Los Feliz, California 90027, on June 12th Nirvana Tribute at Room 5 in Los Angeles, and then wraps up Spring with her show June 24th at The Best of Sound Aid Volume 1 Launch Party in Salem, OR.

Then, she will be returning to The Rainbow Bar & Grill, 9128 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069, at some point his summer too!
