NEW T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE AT SHOWS!!!!!!!!!! So snatch them up before they all go!!!

Emotional, melodic, dynamic, and powerful are words that come to mind when introduced to the band Porcelain. .. Originally formed in Wollongong (Australia) now bases in Los Angeles (USA), Porcelain has a unique lineup and an original sound. Their sound is based on the dynamic vocals of female front Lo Roberts, the powerful melodic guitars of Ben Richards, the emotional layers of violinist Asha Mevlana and the strength of rhythm section Ewen Penberthy-Groves (Bass) and Blake Paulson (Drums).

Porcelain formed in Wollongong, just outside of Sydney Australia, by songwriting duo Lo and Ben. After fleshing out their outfit to a 5 piece lineup, Porcelain rose to the top of their local scene, winning a MusicOz Award and later gaining a spot on the M-One tour with the Goo Goo Dolls, Simple Plan, Nickelback and Lifehouse. An industry buzz attracted interest from Sony Records and Wizard Records and Porcelain elected to sign with Wizard, an independent label who had a more immediate focus on the U.S market.

The band relocated to Los Angeles and began to build a name by sustaining residencies at multiple venues including the Viper Room. The band developed their live show and local fan-base which attracted interest from Universal Records, Maverick Records and local press...

"Porcelain...a dizzying on-stage array...Porcelain's estimable range...is at once buoyant and mesmerizing..." Kevin Bronson/L.A. TIMES

"Time to add some Porcelain to your collection... Singer Lo Roberts...flaunts a natural stage presence not a million miles removed from that of Gwen Stefani, and easily lures listeners into her complex, occasionally confrontational world. Porcelain isn't like many other bands out there. That's what makes it so valuable," Dean Goodman (Editor)/REUTERS Entertainment Review

Porcelain signed directly to Universal/Motown while remaining with the small Indie label Wizard in their homeland. Porcelain wrote their first record on the shores of the Australian coast, and in the heart of Los Angeles. These sessions included working with Linda Perry (4 Non-Blondes,Pink, Gwen Stefani), Mike Elizondo (50 Cent, Eminem, Fiona Apple) and Holly Knight (Aerosmith, Pat Benatar). Their album was mixed by Serban Ghenea (Dave Matthews, Kelly Clarkson, Staind) and was Produced by Mike Green (Paramore, Plain White T's).



Porcelain is a truly original band with great songs and amazing stage presence – reminiscent of the super bands of yesteryear.

The Brightness of Love and Light
By Sonia F Stevens
When you give me light.
The brightness of the all stars won’t blind me.
When you stay with me. Play with me and stay by my side
There is nothing around that will blind me from the love you have for me
You are a star of brightness as you never fade away from me
When you stay with me and by my side
When others deceive you don’t fade away, as I will always be at your side.
I won’t allow you to fade away. The love of my heart will shine brighter than the star of Love
That is when you light my heart.
Don’t close the doors or fade away
Stay by my side.
Let us show others the way
To the love which is brighter than the stars of light.
I will always be there for you.
Let the others have their fight,
As for you and me, we have our light.
Together we shine brighter than the star light at night.
As I won’t leave you now while there is the light.
As it is you who gives me the brightest light.
Our love will light up the darkness of night
The stars are with you and me.
They show us that our love will always be true.
We glow brighter than all the stars at night
As the love between such beings is stronger than all those words
Those words that others say to make us fight
Our love has broken through even at the darkest night.

Glad I stopped by the page! I'd love to check out The Lounge. The 23rd is packed for me, so I'm not sure if I should make the trip, BUT I'll try my best. I like that place. :) I can do it if I ditch snorkeling . . . anyway, great job at HOB! I can't wait for VIPER ROOM! That's my favorite place to see you. I'll tell you the story one day....
