On Saint Bernadette’s third release, WORD TO THE LOURDES, lead singer Meredith DiMenna emerges as Madonna’s rock n’ roll kid sister. The title represents a missive directed at Lourdes, Madonna’s actual daughter, as well as the metaphorical daughters of Madonna, who like Meredith, grew up in the 80s and 90s with her as a role model. The band features her husband, guitarist and co-writer, Keith “Touch” Saunders, incendiary slide guitarist Joe Novelli, bass player Brian Anderson and drummer Dave Valle.

WORD TO THE LOURDES is Saint Bernadette’s most rock ‘n roll offering to date, and features appearances from bands all over their home state of CT including Alyse Lamb of EULA, Erin Miller Finnegan of ELVIS MCMANN, Dave Schneider of THE ZAMBONIS, Joe Roberto of GNU FUZZ and POVERTY HASH, Fuzz, Carrie and Ben of CARAVAN OF THIEVES, Tim Walsh of MIXTAPE and THE BELLS, and Brendan Muldowney. It is the first of three they plan to release in 2009, officially declared by the Catholic Church to be THE YEAR OF BERNADETTE.. To paraphrase the 1943 movie The Song of Bernadette: “For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.”




======================
~~ WORDS FROM THE WORDY ~~
======================


”sweet as an angel and edgy as hell” --BUST

The six-song EP grabs attention with guitar openers out of any Cars song and sped-up endings that make you want to jump up and down on your bed again." --NYC EXAMINER

"This is a stellar tune, one that's bound to be lodged in the back of your head for weeks after listening." --POP TARTS SUCK TOASTED

Have you suffered at the hands of the false idols of Rock-n-Roll? Then let Saint Bernadette’s Word To The Lourdes be your saving grace. --INDEPENDISC

"This Bridgeport-based band has just released its third disc, "Word to the Lourdes," in about a year and a half and the group continues to amaze. Maybe because the group, led by the husband-and-wife team of singer Meredith DiMenna-Saunders and guitar whiz Keith "Touch" Saunders, makes itself right at home in whatever style it chooses. Equally at home playing swinging jazz tunes as well as raunchy rock songs, the band's magic starts with DiMenna-Saunders, whose vocal talents allow her to make any song -- from any genre -- uniquely her own." --CONNECTICUT POST

"Watch out Shirley Bassey. Meredith DiMenna of Saint Bernadette wields an old-school femme fatale voice that would be perfect for the next 20 years of James Bond themes."
-- HARP MAGAZINE

"I'll be damned if Saint Bernadette's retro-flavored rock/rhythm-n-blues menagerie isn't getting me through the coldest week of the winter... If you've ever wished Gentleman was recorded from a female perspective, your wait is over."
-- MY OLD KENTUCKY BLOG

"These 11 originals hint at retro '60s styled mood with contemporary touches. But it's the subtle dynamics that elevate the material; lap steel guitar brings a somewhat ghostly approach to the songs as DiMenna's husky, sexy singing weaves through the spaces in the sound. Turn the lights down low, burn some incense, and lose yourself in Saint Bernadette's intense yet lithe charms."
-- ALLMUSIC.COM

"The debut album from Connecticut’s Saint Bernadette hits the sort of notes and touches that make me weak in the knees, by expertly melding things I’m a sucker for: ballsy broads, smoke-filled jazz clubs, and, of course, the element of surprise."
-- SENTAMENTALIST MAGAZINE

"The small, big band whose sound can be as sweet and lofty as heaven and as down and dirty as hell."
-- INDEPENDISC.COM

"The music on "In the Ballroom," is seductive, eclectic, sophisticated and a natural fit for DiMenna's superlative voice."
-- THE STAMFORD ADVOCATE

"a group that has matured like Uma Thurman--getting sleeker, sexier and ever more butt-kicking as time progresses. Meredith DiMenna's voice bursts out with a cutting, shimmery power."
-- THE FAIRFIELD WEEKLY

"Meredith DiMenna & Keith Saunders have exported some very cool sultry sounds from Bridgeport , Connecticut. The live recorded debut album..In The Ballroom..is sickeningly good , smoothly rounded & fantastically mixed by Peter Katis. Superb lounge vocals & Jazz filled Beats ... Pass me my slippers!"
-- MOJOPHENIA PRODUCTIONS, UK

"They'll make you drool."
-- THE HARTFORD COURANT

"Right off the bat, you note that Meredith DiMenna's voice is captivating - it's got a sultry heft to it, a growl . . ."
-- NYROCK.COM

"You guys out AC/DC'd AC/DC on that one!"
-- Jake Frankel MOUNTAIN XPRESS

"If you're not horny after that set then there's something wrong with you"
-- JOHNNY TOYMAKER

I just bought your album, In the Ballroom, yesterday off of Amazon.
It's really good.  I haven't gotten a feel for all of the tracks though, but this was in no way a bad purchase.  I originally only knew your track, "I own the city", and I just really needed some more of you guys.

Keep up the good work!

Much love,
~Matt
