MY NUMBER ONE INFLUENCE: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOTHER ANY GOD COULD EVER HAVE CREATED... this is who showed me how to make silly faces in photos (as you can see), how to never take myself too seriously, and how to treat the world with a full heart of compassion

Im not very pretty when I play. Im sweaty and my makeup runs all over my face. My voice is trained but abused...so its really loud and cracks sometimes with emotion. I play hard and well and I write songs that break my hands by song ..5. By song ..6 pain is shooting up my left arm.I don't think I have a serious problem, I think that it is just a little more strenious to play a 12 string. I am posessed by whatever song I am playing. This is the greatest grace I have ever received, to be a channel for music that speaks to me. There are no sweet song introductions or coy lovie shit. There is cursing and joke cracking as between song banter. I only introduce one song and thats Billys song. Otherwise I think it better to be yourself onstage, even if you are offensive. That is the nature of Rock n Roll. What does it sound like? Who the fuck knows but Ill tell you right now that shit sounds real. Enjoy :)
THIS IS THE QUEEN. I LOVE HER. I WOULD LIKE TO MARRY HER.
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Christina Rubino began her musical journey in 1995 as the singer, songwriter and guitar player in Snapdragon, which soon evolved into Pettycoat. With dirty guitars, melodious yet aggressive vocals, Pettycoat became a local favorite in a vast spectrum of scenes in and around the NYC and Brooklyn area. Pettycoat, consisting of Mark Weizorek on bass (and too many drummers to mention) dissolved in Spring of 2001.
"Big City Radio" was the next project in the Summer of 2002, a new wave band rocking melodious keyboard lines, clean guitar sounds and sultry vocals. BCR came to an abrubt halt when their drummer Vinny Wager left to persue a life in London.
Now Christina, a twenty something harlet with over 10 years of vocal and booze abuse is persueing an acoustic journey in which a seasoned life, combined with a volatile spirit and a 12 string guitar produces some very heartfelt and emotional music.
