New RIPLEY Tracks, by Alice Ripley, Now On MySpace

RIPLEY, Alice Ripley's acclaimed rock band led by the singer/actress, has recorded a new track, which can be heard on the band's MySpace pages.

Listen to Ripley's "President Hillary" via this link.

Broadway star and songwriter Alice Ripley received Tony and Drama Desk nominations for her beloved performance in the cult hit Side Show.  In 2001, Sh-K-Boom records released her critically acclaimed "Everything's Fine" - a mix of pop, folk and jazz that showcases haunting lyrics in a song cycle of soft-core suburban hell.  With the newly sharpened edge of Ripley's latest offering, 'Outtasite,' "the music rocks hard and cuts the figure of an attention-getter with a killer voice," state press notes.

Drummer Shannon Ford has performed, recorded and toured with a starry list of artists, including Paul Simon, Danny Gatton and Bob Dylan.

Christopher Schelling is a new wave throwback whose keyboard styles range from 'car alarm' to the ever-popular 'Chopsticks.'  

Ripley is a self-produced pop/rock band. The band's influences - XTC, Elvis Costello, QUEEN - include eccentrics from rock's classic era, but RIPLEY's sound has a decidedly 21st century ring.  In 2001, Sh-K-Boom records released Ripley's critically acclaimed 'Everything's Fine.'  'Outtasite' followed. Ripley sings with a growl and a lilt for survivors of Susan Faludi's 'Backlash' era – the daughters of the single mothers who wanted it all.  The result is a blazing trail which resembles that of Gwen Stefani's big sister who taught her everything she knows.

As previously announced, Alice Ripley will play Charlotte in the Blank Theatre Company's production of Michael John LaChiusa's musical Little Fish; the production opens this October in Los Angeles.
