24Karat

Bio:

Pasadena, MD is a strange town on the verge of Glen Burnie and like a deep water oyster; occasionally produces odd, eccentric and musically-gifted pearls such as "24 Karat Rock". Who is "24 Karat Rock" you ask? Well... "Imagine Dido's birthday party being crashed by Jefferson Airplane, No Doubt and Mountain. Or "Born to Be Wild" era Steppenwolf refereeing a battle between Missing Persons, Green Day, Ashlee Simpson, Beatles and the Ramones. That's 24 Karat Rock. Hard to figure out? Yep, but it works well. Our stuff is diverse, butt shakin' and fresh. The leader of this band of gypsies is an excellent guitarist by the name of Lenny who wanders around the crowd brandishing his musical skills over wireless guitar like a rockin mariachi about to lay you flat with another great screaming riff. Paul is the longtime drummer who performed in a number of Maryland bands and is the newest addition to 24k. He is loving referred to as "the Machine" since he can find just the right beat to anything Tony and Len throw at him and enjoys smashing the daylights out of his cymbals. Yeah, he breaks them. Singer Lorraine also known as “Mistress Lorraine” was busy singing in some acoustic acts for a few years. When Lenny heard her singing in a club one night, he decided she had to be in the band. Her quiet off-stage persona is shattered as soon as she steps onstage and starts singing and moving to the music. Tony lays down a solid bottom end while dropping in harmonies. Lorraine, Len and Tony trade off singing lead so each song gets its own unique voice and character. 24 Karat Rock is known to give great live performances. 24 Karat Rock has only been around for a short time now and they have gone from 0 to 60 in nothing flat, expanding musically over a broad range of material. We are ever evolving, unique; and draw from a combination of backgrounds of classic rock, folk, modern rock and a touch of grunge thrown in for good measure. Rich flowing melodies supported with plenty of harmonies; you are also treated to well crafted productions which are admittedly on the light, happy side, but also very moving because you'll find you just can't stand still or not sing along when they are playing. And where did that name come from you ask? After running through a list of names, out of nowhere Lenny said "how about 24 Karat Rock" and everyone slapped the table and said "that’s it!! ". For short we call ourselves 24k. We are beginning to make our mark in the Maryland music scene. Keep an eye and ear out for us.
