Album Release Party April 11 at Mercury Lounge NYC
NEW YORK, NY - Antigone Rising, the New York
based all-female-boot-stompin'-alt-country-rock band, has announced
the release of TWO brand new EPs, 'Whiskey & Wine -
Volume 1" and "Whiskey & Wine - Volume 2”.
"Whiskey & Wine - Volume 1” is set to drop March 25, 2014, on iTunes and the band’s official website and features the singles
“Everything Changes”. “That Was The Whiskey”, “Call Me Crazy”, “Magnolia On The
Breeze” and “Get To You”. Volume 1 will be followed later this year by "Whiskey
& Wine - Volume 2," due out October 28, 2014.
The fab four comprised of Nini Camps (lead
singer), Dena Tauriello (drums) and founding sisters Kristen
Henderson (bass/vocals) and Cathy Henderson (guitar/vocals), are
showing no sign of slowing down!
Starting on March 25, 2014, the band will
begin a never ending cycle, one song at a time, releasing a music video,
followed by an acoustic or alternate mix version. The goal is to provide
audiences a variety of online content from video interviews to blog posts all
year long. Treating each song as a single, the band will dedicate 6 to 8
weeks on the individual promotion of each of the five songs featured on
'Whiskey & Wine Volume 1', and will keep the cycle going all through Fall
when 'Whiskey & Wine Volume 2,' gets its Fall release.
Exploding into the spotlight in 2005, Antigone Rising became the first
band on Starbuck’s Hear Music (Lava Records) selling over 150,000 copies of
their debut LP. After releasing the 2011 album "23 Red" to great
success, touring with acts such as The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, The
Allman Brothers Band, The Bangles and Rob Thomas, and traveling to the
Middle East, spending time in Israel and the West Bank as cultural
ambassadors for the United States Embassy, Antigone Rising introduced last
summer its latest single (and accompanying music video), "That Was The
Whiskey”.
The infectiously catchy tune received praise from critics as a foot
stompin' mash up, perfectly blending the band's ability to rock with their gift
for writing undeniably catchy songs. The video for the single premiered
on CMT.com, trending in the top 10 (Watch

Co-written with Nashville songwriter Lori McKenna (Faith Hill, Little
Big Town, Hunter Hayes) "That Was The Whiskey” has just been
nominated in the "Country Song" Category in The 13th Annual
Independent Music Awards.
The girls have already been turning up everywhere from the pages of
Curve Magazine, Billboard, Out Magazine, Buzzfeed, AfterEllen and the
Huffington Post to appearances on The Today Show and The
Tonight Show, among others. More recently, Kristen
Ellis-Henderson garnered much media attention when she and her wife,
business executive Sarah Kate Ellis (who was recently
appointed president and CEO of GLAAD), were featured on the cover of TIME
Magazine's groundbreaking April 8,2013 Marriage Equality issue
Having dazzled audiences across the globe and invaded our
iPods, Antigone Rising has never been more primed to take the musical
world by storm!
