Led by firecracker front woman Collette McLafferty, edibleRed is an eclectic New York City-based five-piece collective of atypical musicians. The memorable songs the band creates can be heard on their debut CD, Welcome to My Bad Behavior, released on veteran indie label Select Records.
Featured lyricist McLafferty is edibleRed’s femme-fatale who describes her sound as one of “a classically trained voice that slowly degenerated into a rock singer’s.” It is fitting that having once performed for Jeff Buckley “before realizing who he was,” she blends songwriting skills like Buckley’s with the style and panache of Debbie Harry and a rich voice a la Tracy Bonham. Alongside McLafferty is edibleRed co-founding member, the Grammy nominated drummer Tom Papadatos.
Papadatos graduated with a performance degree from Berkelee College ofMusic in Boston and played with classical crossover artist Sasha Lazard at the CD release party for her recent “Myth of Red.” Recently, Papadatos toured Indonesia and Singapore with New York blues guitarist Hugh Pool.
Lead guitarist Sean McMechen brings edibleRed’s hard rock roots to the surface. After years performing in metal bands, McMechen graduated with a degree in Fine Arts and guitar from Jersey City College, and then continued his guitar study at Parsons College in Manhattan.
Aside from being one of the most talked about bands in the tri-state area, edibleRed has been cultivating a diehard national following, and planting seeds internationally thanks to non-stop touring, and radio and TV appearances on FUSE TV’s IMX and Brooklyn Radio Online. McLafferty was featured on an episode of FUSE’s “Tattoo Stories,” and The Style Network’s “Split Ends” where she got a brand new coif from the scissors of a hot Los Angeles stylist. In February 2007, members of edibleRed were special guests on an episode of the Dr. Keith Ablow show where psychic twins predicted their imminent success.
edibleRed’s songs have been included on the Oxygen Network’s “Good Girls Don’t,” and most recently the band’s lead single “Sugar and Spring” was featured in an episode of Showtime’s “The L Word.” Their music can also be heard on KROCK2’s “Domestic Disturbance.”
Bring all these ingredients together and you have a psychedelic rock recipe sure to satisfy any appetite.
Among the band's highlights:
+ Performed for 10,000 people at Pittsburgh's First Night celebration
+ Appeared live on FUSE (IMX featuring Staind)
+ Sugar and Spring featured on Good Girls Don't on the Oxygen Network
+ Starred in reality show A Makeover
Story on The Learning Channel
+ Song As You Do featured on MTV's Undressed
+ Shared stage with Antigone Rising, Baha Men, Lola Ray and Jennifer

Says Pittsburgh Tribune Review: "She does look delicious, but it is her vocals that are paticularly
tasty... You have a sound that is familiar and fresh."
