AUSTIN, TX. (www.3kisses.com) -
September 24, 2004,
3 KISSES appeared on the Austin
Music Network to debut their video, Yellow, and talk about the release of their new CD,
Wings.
The band hosted the show for two hours. Tish and Tony played some
acoustic tunes, the band took calls from fans and they played requested
videos of
Texas bands and featured videos from some of their personal
favorites. On
September 25, they took the show live downtown to
Austin's 6th Street where the production company, Mercenary Mediums,
premiered the Yellow video on the big screen televisions at The Vibe. 3
KISSES followed up a great reception to the video with a live
performance opening for former Arista recording artist, Pushmonkey.
The
initial excitement didn't get a chance to wear off, as 3 KISSES took
the show on the road, playing such regional venues as Rowdy's Sports
Bar, the Rhythm Room and Forgetta Bout It Too in Houston , the Asylum
in Ft. Worth and Otto's Ice House in Tish and Tony's hometown of
Brenham. Says Brandi Baird of one Houston performance, "I loved the
dynamics and enthusiasm that 3 KISSES relayed. It was amazing! The
video was truly genius."
Just days after the "Wings" LP release, Tish Meeks of 3 KISSES
was featured on Indie Artist Radio's syndicated Indie Limelight show,
hosted by James St. James. This was followed up with 3 KISSES signing
on with an international booking agency and a publicity deal with
TinderboX Music entailing the launch of a CMJ radio campaign. The
contract was signed with TinderboX Music the last week of October and 3
KISSES CD, Wings,
was launched to over 400 radio stations nationwide the first week of
December. Wings is making the CMJ charts on stations such as Chicago's
WIIT and Pittsburgh's WPTS. 3 KISSES will be following up the
nationwide airplay with live performances starting with the House of
Rock in Denver on March 19.
The band plans to give audiences everywhere the opportunity to take part in the 3 KISSES
experience. Career Austin musician, Lauren Dillon says, "3 KISSES was
doing their thing and outshining anyone I'd heard ...a sound that sets
them apart from other Austin bands... they radiate warmth and are
engaging and fun to watch." Steve Syx of Working @ Syx Productions
concurs, "...this group has what it takes to make an audience want to
listen."
It's true that 3 KISSES
is making an impression in Austin. The Austin American-Statesman's
Austin Band Hotline Directory selected 3 KISSES as their featured
artist for the Alternative Rock genre in their Fall 2004 edition of
SHOWCASE, A Preview of the Central Texas Music Scene. On November 7, 3
KISSES played at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure for over 19,000
race participants and on November 21, 3 KISSES played at the Motive
Bison Stampede to benefit the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. But it isn't
just in Texas where people are taking notice. Jon Rucker of Rockland
World Radio in Rockland, NY, recently interviewed Tish and has invited
3 KISSES up for a live studio performance. RadioIndy.com voted 3 KISSES
the best new Austin band and Wings album of the year in the annual
Austin Chronicle music contest. Benjamin Daniels of Indie-Music.com
enthusiastically acclaims 3 KISSES music as "insanely catchy and was
stuck in my head in seconds�.an excellent offering � it's catchy,
well-written, excellently mixed (did I mention catchy?)" and
IndependentArtistsCompany.com proclaims the music a "heavenly piece of
pop from an incredible band." Says Jay King, VP of Classic R&B,
Thump/Universal, "Great songwriting � catchy, poppy songs. An excellent
mix of yesterday and today." All of this out of a band who has been
together less than a year! A portion of the proceeds will be donated to
the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the National Breast Cancer
Foundation. The Yellow DVD can also be purchased at www.3kisses.com and a CD/DVD combo is offered there at a discounted rate.
