The Polyplush Cats are from Washington D.C.. The Polyplush Cats remind people from coast-to-coast that Rock-n-Roll is still very much alive. They are a fast paced, high energy, rock-n-roll band consisting of Catherine Terranova - bass and vocals, Scott Garrish -guitar, and Eric Surratt - drums.

Their first show was in Washington, D.C. in March 1995. For the next three years,they played numerous shows in Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington D.C..In 1997, they released their full length CD, "It's a Rock-n- Roll Party", which reveals much about their persona. By 1998, they decided that the rest of the U.S. was in need of someone to show them how to have a good time and to remind them how to have a rock-n-roll party. So, in October they toured the entire eastern side of the the U.S., which consisted of 45 shows in 24 states. This tour lasted ten and a half weeks, with their homecoming show back in Washington D.C.. In January 1999, they released a six song CD, "In It For The Money". With this new release in hand, they took off in March and expanded their generosity by sharing their rock with the rest of the U.S.. That's right, a nationwiderock-n-roll explosion was definitely in need, to feed a nation that forgot about rock-n-roll. That '99 Spring tour consisted of traveling 26 states with 45 shows in ten weeks, from Atlantic to the Pacific. The following summer they played gigs around their hometown and wrote new songs. By October, they headed back to the west coast to give them a taste of east coast flava. That Fall '99 tour consisted of 42 shows in 26 states, nationwide baby. It was apparent that they refreshed the masses of whom that had extremely crappy, redundant radio rock shoved down their throats.

To Bring in the year 2000, they are back in the studio with seven new songs to record their third CD, "Drivin It Home". Get Ready America, they start our nationwide spring tour on March 30, 2000. Check Tour Dates for a city near you.

Dare Dare Devil was formed in 1995 in Orléans-France. The band find its inspirations in International Punk-Rock & Garage scenes. Devil Dogs, New Bomb Turks, Punk'77 are some ind of stuffs that drive them insane! DDD ever played all across France from the worst bar to legendary venues as Le Gibus in Paris, and burn Belgium stages in February 2000 and Slovenian one in August 2000. DDD was guest for main Punk-Rock Bands as Electric Frankenstein, Hellacopters, Oblivians, New Bomb Turks, TV Killers, Zen Guerrilla, Man or Astroman?....

After several CD-samplers, BANANA JUICE Production from Rennes produced the first 13 songs-CD "Jerk your Brain off!" in 1998 The second one "Faster KillKill Jell-O-Matic" (14 songs) came out in march 2000 on cd & Lp on the same label with a french distribution (Tripsichord).

Power rock'n'roll with Biafra's vibrato on voice give to DDD a fuckin' rockin' style on records. Hot rockin' 6 strings & low minded lyrics (in english slang), fast beat for short numbers! will kick your ass up! Fun and action blast (!) on stage, Dare Dare Devil is now ready to burn Europe with The Polyplush Cats from Washington D.C. next December! With Weak, Exxon Valdez, Gasolheads, TV Killers etc... Dare Dare Devil is one of the most representative ambassador of French rockin' scene.
