"I listen to a lot of music... She can sing!" George Stroumboulopoulos. THE HOUR -CBC
Dame is a bone-crushing rock trio with big choruses, hard- hitting guitar riffs and power-house vocals. Recommended if you like Audioslave with chunks of Iron
Maiden.
Progressive, aggressive, young and inspired, with a lot of talent and attitude – that’s DAME, the all-girl power trio from Brampton, Ontario, who are quickly earning a loyal fan
following, as well as deserved recognition. The unpretentious threesome is headed-up by Katee Lee, who dominates the bass and provides astounding vocals far beyond her
years.
Kayla Faye is nothing less captivating to watch, as she punishes the drums and loses herself in the lyrics.
Ali Stead, the bands axe-man, gives commanding performances constantly as she and her guitars exude almost every emotion there is.
Together the girls have grabbed the attention of several music magazines and celebrities, including The Hour’s talk show host George Stroumboulopoulos. He speaks highly
and often of the band, features their song “Cyclops” on his My Space page, and plays their music regularly on his Sunday night radio show.
They’ve also won the respect of veteran producer, songwriter, and musician Greg Godovitz. As talk show host of CFRB’s Rock Talk and founder of the band Goddo, Greg has
said, “As far as I'm concerned their age and gender doesn't factor into the overall equation. They can play, sing, and write as good, if not better, than most acts in their
musical genre. These guys (?) rock!" His comment is astute, for these girls can hold their own and play with any of the male-dominated progressive rock bands out there, and
not miss a beat.
To further that point, Bob Donovan of indieintune.com, known as the Indie Bible, says, "This band can lay down a groove and kick out some serious sound with ease. If there
is a young band out there today that can thrust women into the spotlight in the rock scene, it will be Dame!" The prediction is well-founded.
The girls deserve such kudos, and have earned their place in the TOP 10 Myspace Progressive Rock Charts constantly for the since 2007!
As they continue to work hard at turning their current EP “Intervention” into a full-fledged CD, the girls are ecstatic to watch their fan base growing, with plenty of tribute
clips and live footage being added to You Tube, and followers everywhere, including a few soldiers in Iraq, forwarding pictures of themselves in Dame T-shirts.
The sincere way in which they handle their fans is a testament to the fact that they have their feet firmly planted on the ground and don’t intend to let the attention go to
their heads, especially knowing there’s more work to be done. But in between the toil of rehearsals, photo shoots and interviews, and churning out new music, they love to
play live. So, get out there and check out one of their shows. You won’t be disappointed!!

For those of you who have not heard them live they are a rare gem who can bring the studio sound to the stage!!! I sat in the Russel Hotel many years ago and listened to a
upcoming band called RUSH! This trio DAME reminded me of that show where a young drummer stole the show and with great guitar and vocals and bass leads that rarely
missed these girls are about to explode onto the scene with a fresh and new rock sound So it was said so it will be !! B Ringer Ascendant Productions
"This band can seriously lay down a groove and kick out some serious sound with ease. IF there is a young band out there today that can thrust women into the
spotlight in the rock scene it will be Dame!" Bob Donovan, www.indieintune.com
"Dame - three teenage girls all under the age of 18 performing with a skill that many rock musicians twice their age cannot equal opened the show. Quickly one learns upon
seeing this power trio to look past the gimmick of their collective age (48) and find similarities with the very popular and well-established acts they open for. At times one
can detect similarities to acts like Four Non-Blondes and Pearl Jam. The band itself draws considerably from legends Pink Floyd."

"a no-holds-barred ..kickass progressive aggressive rock band, three girls from Brampton, Ontario who play songs with big choruses, hard-hitting guitar riffs
and powerhouse bass and vocals."

Dame - Intervention Review
I first came across Dame about six months ago on their MySpace account. From the first moment I heard their material, I was intrigued by the maturity coming from these
three young Canadian women. I messaged them and got a quick reply. I was given "Intervention" by their management team.....and WOW! I immediatly put the entire CD in
our "hot rotation" on Imagefm.ca. The response has been overwhelming, with listeners regularly requesting Intervention and other tracks from the EP. I do not like to focus
on ones' age (especially bands) but I have to say that in my 29 years as a broadcaster/programmer, I have never heard teenage musicians EVER come out with material like
Intervention. I would highly recommend Dame's Intervention EP to any music programmer in the Canadian radio industry.
I rate the Dame-Intervention EP "10 stars across the board!"
