CD Review by New Haven Advocate
The Roxies (who used to be Kitty Kitty Bang Bang but changed their name “for legal reasons”) are a girl-fronted, old-fashioned rock & roll band with a Polish-accented blonde named Magdalena on vocals and a core of older dudes holding down the instrument duties. They’ve got lots of attitude and not a hint of irony. I get the feeling they wish it was still 1979 and they were playing CBGBs every other weekend. The guitar amps are always turned way up and drums are always bashy and huge, in a good way. These 10 tracks are impeccably arranged and played with a tightness that implies many years of experience.
—Mike Sembos
The Roxies’ CD release party is May 31 at Rose’s Cantina in Groton, featuring dancers with snakes, nude women serving absinthe, a magician and a special performance by Jenn Hill; $10 includes a CD and a glass of absinthe.
It's 100% accurate - I don't give a toss about anything other than music! It's all true except for my hard accent! I don't have an accent---cuz my momma told me so:)

Bio
The Roxies is Rock and Roll’s latest contradiction. Through a combination of emotion, style, and glam, The Roxies is a return to form for rock fans everywhere.
Joe (guitarist) and Eric (lead guitarist) provide the group’s heavy sonic landscapes while the rhythm section of Rob (bassist) and Mark (drums) give the band an in your face edge that screams: Rock and Roll is not dead! Not by a long shot. And their lead singer, Magdalena, is out to prove just that. Her jet-fueled vocals and stage presence make The Roxies a hard act to follow.
Together, their talents give The Roxies a sound and style that has recently garnered the attention of internationally renown mastering engineer Chaz Harper (Aerosmith, Justin Timberlake) and legendary mix engineer Michael Bona (Peter Gabriel, Seal, Public Enemy) who are currently mixing and mastering the band’s debut album at the Music Palace and Battery Studios in New York City.
Regional fans voted Magdalena Best Female Vocalist in the Hartford Advocate’s Grand Band Slam. Silk Vodka sponsored The Roxies on their Summer 2007 Independence Tour with highlights including the Daffodil Music Festival in Connecticut (where according to rock critic Dan Berry The Roxies “tore the roof off the headlining spot”) and at the Rock and Resort Festival in Ohio winning over a crowd of 10,000 rock fans who passionately demanded encore after encore.
Rock and Roll is in good hands with this vibrant, young band. See and hear for yourself why the Hartford Advocate raves: “These newcomers aren’t just ones to watch, they’re absolutely required listening.”
Thanks for the new friendship guys. You gotta hear some just recorded stuff that we did that has your buddy Mike Lapke banging the skins on it. Great drumming is a beautiful thing no doubt!

One Moment By Patrick B Oviedo Jr. Spring of 2008
Standing there patiently starring at the dimples and the delicate structure of your hands It is just fate to be this close and yet a million miles away
Hint as soft as mammas whispers in all of my childhood memories To tell on that distant early morning breeze
I can still remember what she said to my spirit and soul Softly spoken secrets of those quiet humble days
I can never feel so safe, as when you’re standing next to me But, truth be told when you find her she will enchant your worries away
A tiny sacred place in the slip of your lips A supple kiss with full bouquet of glistening sweat, skin and hair
You beam; I pray to never ever exhale again So soft and infinite a hollow moan to pace the way we sway
To a complete surrender of all my senses in all that brief and blinding haze Your whims and desires I desperately seek to fully entail, and worship
Deep inside you; dream the taste of our naked skin as we share a slow and shallow breath I sigh; you surround me to that long lusted, blissful one moment
When in fate I calmly open my eyes, you release your exhale slow and pleased An easy smile and you tangle your fingers in you hair
Walking away, never having heard you say the syllables of my name And just the same the color of your clear eyes has become the name I keep for you
I still wish I was just standing there Patiently starring at the dimples and delicate structure of your hands
