Pretty Poison have just placed Catch Me I'm Falling in Adam Sandler's new movie "Don't Mess With The Zohan". Jade's new single F.L.G. will finally be released to the public in time for the Pretty Poison reunion show in Philadelphia on July 12th at the Liacouras Center. Starling and Cooler are also credited as writers on the latest Joss Stone CD" Introducing Joss Stone" on track 10 "Proper Nice". Jade recently lent her vocals to an exciting project by Hydra Productions. The song "Good Girls features Jade, Gioia Bruno of Expose' fame and Kim Esty formerly of Kon Kan. In 2005, Jade's partner in Pretty Poison co-wrote a song to help raise donations for the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. Brook Lapping Productions found the song entitiled "Blue Monday" and licensed it for use in their movie "Surviving Katrina" which begins airing on the Discover Channel Subnday August 27th at 9:00 PM so be sure to check it out. "Blue Monday" can be heard 4 times in the first hour of "Surviving Katrina" PRETTY POISON Laced EP (Svengali) 1983 Catch Me I'm Falling (Virgin) 1988 PRETTY POISON You've got to hand it to these hardy Camden, New Jersey natives. Pretty Poison, probably the first group ever to cover a Tuxedomoon composition (which they did on a flexidisc included with one of several rare self-released singles), kept going through the '80s without recognition long enough to somehow wind up scoring an honest-to-god Top 10 soundtrack single in 1987. The 12-inch Laced EP shows off all of the band's strengths, from the massed percussion of "Let Freedom Ring" to the catchy electro-pop of "Expiration." Keyboardist Whey Cooler (ouch) leads the varied synth-dance-rhythm-rock, providing solid support for big-voiced singer Jade Starling. More resourceful than inventive, Pretty Poison stakes a strong case for national exposure. "Catch Me I'm Falling," recorded for a quickly forgotten Jon Cryer film called Hiding Out, did the trick a bouncy, insistent dance hit with stuttering production that clicked, thanks to numerous soundalikes polluting the airwaves around the same time. Caught off guard by their runaway success, it took PP a while to pull an album together, using an assortment of producers. Indeed, a few of the songs (including "Let Freedom Ring" and "Nighttime") on Catch Me I'm Falling are remakes of old indie releases, a sign of material shortage. In any case, the album of predictable, utilitarian high-tech dancercise is no better.
